Miguel’s First Words

Miguel, my 6-month old nephew started blabbering words: baba bubu.

One Saturday morning, Miguel said, “Boba.”

Tem cried to nanay, “Nay! Tinatawag na kayo ni Miguel!”

I asked, “Boba Cora? Pano sa tatay? Bobo (lolo) Ajug?”

Nanay answered, “Ay! Naku ha?! Ayoko, baka sampalin ko yang anak mo.”

I proudly said, “Buti pa ako, BIBO (Tito) Butchoy.”
