We just got back from a family trip to Hong Kong, and while inside the plane on our way to Manila, Trixie and I had this mother-daughter conversation. I can say this is quite a cheesy conversation, but it's very memorable.
Trixie: Mama, will you still love me if I'm bad like Tatay Ben? (Tatay Ben was one of the characters in the Kapamilya teleserye "May Bukas Pa." She saw this episode where Tatay Ben played by the late Johnny Delgado kidnapped little children and made them into beggars in the streets.)
Me: Yup, I will still love you.
Trixie: Will you still love me if I become a mirror?
Me: Yup, I will still love you.
Trixie: But you will be sad if I become a mirror?
Me: Yup, I'll be very sad because you'll be so hard I cannot hug you.
Trixie: Will you still love me if I become a statue?
Me: Yes, I will still love you. (I'm now thinking, where does she get such silly ideas??)
Trixie: But you will be sad again?
Me: Yup, I'll be sad because I cannot kiss you.
Me: Trix, Mama will love you whatever and forever.
Trixie: ______ (She said nothing at this point, but she flashed a big smile.)
Sigh. I just love being a mom. :)
