Overheard in a playground:
Nanny on the phone: O, dumating na ba? Nagkasya ba yung mga
sapatos? E yung mga t-shirt at pantalon? Branded lahat yan ha. Ano pang
kelangan? Ipon muna ko ha. O sige, babay na. O yung Spam at tsaka mga chocolate
tipirin nyo. O sige, babay na ulit at nagbabantay pa ko ng mga bata. Yung sabon
at toothpaste, tipirin nyo ha. (Has [the box] arrived? Did the shoes fit? How
about the t-shirts and pants? They’re all branded, you know. What else is
needed? I’ll start saving again. Okay, bye. Oh, the Spam and the chocolates, go
easy on them. All right, goodbye again as I’m still looking after the kids. Economize
[don’t waste] the soap and toothpaste.) MLJ/17102025/OnBalikbayanBoxes
