why?

i heard another conversation between alex and karol. alex was telling karol some story as usual. probably, to check whether karol understood, alex started asking him...

alex: karol, do you know why?
karol: yes!
alex: so, tell me why!
karol: why!
alex: do you know why?
karol: yes!
alex: so, tell me why!
karol: why!
alex: tell me why!
karol: why!

q & a

lately, karol and alex are always fighting and arguing. after we finished lunch, i was rocking andy to sleep when i heard alex and karol playing quietly in their bedroom. this was so refreshing that i got curious and watched them from afar.

alex was animating some story about dora, boots and isa (from dora the explorer) using her mega blocks figures. karol was intently listening to alex while watching the small figures. the story then turned into a question and answer game which went something like this...

alex: karol, do butterflies have slippers?
karol: yes!
alex: nooooooooo! do butterflies have flower antennas?
karol: yes!
alex: nooooooooo! do butterflies have wings?

karol was about to answer but then he hesitated. probably tired of getting busted all the time, he stopped and thought really hard. finally....

karol: no!
alex: yeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

this really brought tears to my eyes from laughing too hard. poor karol! i knew he had the correct answer but changed his mind at the last minute. :))

cute broccoli

i was prepping ingredients for lunch when alex approached me. at that moment, i was dividing the broccoli into small flowerettes.

alex: what are you doing?
me: making the broccoli small.
alex: why are you doing that?
me: so that they will be nice.
alex: but they are also nice when they are big.
me: i know. but see aren't they cute?
alex: aha! so you want them to be cute, right?!

now, i felt really silly. all i could do was say uh-huh with an embarrassed smile. hihihi!
