signs of the times

"Stop eeeet!!! don't make me GULOOOOO!!!"

That piercing shriek was enough to make me stop whatever the hell i was doing, look up and start laughing. I was in the middle of a grocery trip with Jason when i heard this annoying voice from another aisle. I couldn't believe it. Then i heard it again.

"Ano bah!!! Sabi nga, don't make me GULOOOOO!!!"

Yup, no mistaking it. It was a kid, probably an 8 or 9-year old kid arguing with her brother. WTF!!?!!!!

I thought the whole taglish phenomenon was limited to sosyal wannabes who have nothing to do but butcher two languages in one sitting.Instead i get this sweet looking kid who's doing that like it's her business to be that maarte.

PUTANGINA. What its the world coming to?

Shet. Pakshet na malagket.

I vow to myself that i will slap my kid silly (should i have one) if i even hear a slight ionclination from him/her to say something like that. Argh.
