My nephew and godson Tim is quite the character. He's 8 years old. I love to hug him. He's quite chubby and has the perfect softness that one would wish a pillow to have. So whenever I see him I always say "Tim, pa embrace naman". He always reluctantly complies.
Last Sunday I asked him "Tim, pag binata ka na ba, pwede pa ba ako mag embrace sa 'yo?"
Tim: "Pwede pa naman"
Last week, he expressed his desire to be circumcised at 10 years old. Hence, my next question:
Me: "Pag ten years old ka na, pwede pa ba ako mag embrace sa iyo?"
Tim: "Pwede pa naman, pero pag 11 na ko hindi na pwede"
Me: "Bakit? Dahil tuli na ka?"
Tim:"Ummumm (nods his head), pero swerte ka pag hindi pa ako natuli by 11. Kasi pwede mo pa ko i-embrace"
Me: "Bakit pag tuli ka na hindi na pwede?"
Tim: "Hindi na kasi binata na ako nun e."
Oo nga naman :)

Hi, Leica!
I saw your blog and read this particular entry and I was teary eyed.
I remembered my brother, who turned 21 last December, who like Tim is quite chubby and very huggable. Me, my Mom and my sister always tease him how come he won't let us embrace him like before, same reply as Tim, kasi binata na raw siya.
Hay, iba na raw kasi ang mag-eembrace sa kanya! Ha, ha, ha!
Yeah, I know what you mean. They grow up so fast. Pretty soon Tim be bringing home girls for us to meet. My, how time flies! Thanks for your comment!
