Kamatis
One of my college professors tapped me at the back while I was talking to Mel in the branch. I then told Mel, “Prof ko nung college.”
Mel asked, “P. E.?”
I answered, “Religion.”
She then wondered and asked, “Huh? Bakit long hair? Saka parang wala sa itsura?”
I defended my former Religion Teacher, “Hindi s’ya ganyan nuon. Ngayon lang, parang bumabalik sa pagkabata… ano nga bang tawag dun? Middle age syndrome?”
Mel screamed, “Nangangamatis!”
I asked, “Ang alin?”
She smiled, “Tama ba?”
I then realized what she was trying to say, “Ah! Nagmumurang kamatis!”
She smiled, “Yun nga!”
