I have posted here before a blog on one of the frequent arguments I have with my mom. These arguments are recurrent and mostly nonsense which really annoys me. I'd like to have my argument with sense please. Anyway, I've been thinking of adding a category on these cases. So this evening:
Mom enters the room. Paused.
Mom: Dai, di kaya ma daot ang bata nag cge ka atubang ana imung laptop?
Translation: isn't it bad for the baby when you're always in front of the laptop?
Me: Sa unsa? Radiation?
Translation: What? You mean the radiation?
Mom: O! cge man ka laptop diha. Pagnga gud na kung naa ka sa katre. Ayaw cge internet internet diha. &**^%$@
Translation: Yes! You're always using the laptop. Don't use it when you're in bed. Stop using the internet. &*(&)))*&%
Me: Ai da. Y namatay cge atubang laptop. (Her well used alibi is finally useful for me.)
Translation: Nobody died for always using the laptop.
Mom: Ai bahala kaaaaaaaa!!!!! Bahala kaaaa!!!!!! bahala kaaa!!!!!!!!!
Translation: (I honestly don't know how to translate this part) It's up to youuuuuuuu! It's up to yoooouuuuu! It's up to yoooouuuuu!
Then out she went storming. 8 minutes later enters Nana.
Nana: Unsa man na Kat? Laptop laptop?
Translation: What's all the fuss about? Laptop? Laptop?
Me: Ai daaaaaaaah...
Translation: aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
Out Nana went.
Trivia: In the Philippines, we mention the term twice when we don't know what it means or what it is for.
Score:
Mommy: 0 Ka3na: 2
