of teachers, sit-ins and promises

I love to learn according to my mum... My attention span is so short that she, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles should always keep me learning new things otherwise I'll get bored and be grumpy and restless...

There was one time that one of my "Mama Lola's" co-teacher promised me that I could sit in, in one of her classes. So the next day I was restless and insisted that I should get dressed and ready for my first sit in class.

To my dismay Teacher Nela was absent... The next day I insisted that I want to see Teacher Nela so I need to go to school... I stormed into the faculty and confronted a 28 year old teacher. Here's what happened...

Aki: (with hands on waist) Miss Nela, bakit ka absent? Sabi mo pasok ako sa class mo tpos wala k naman? (Miss Nela, why were you absent? You told me that I can sit in your class but you were not here, yesterday?)

Miss Nela: (apologetic) Aki, sorry ha? Kasi may pinuntahan ako kaya hindi ako nakapasok... (Aki, I'm sorry. I had to go somewhere, that's why I wasn't able to come to work)

Aki: Sabi ng Mama Donna ko, hindi daw dpat mag-promise kung hindi gagawin, kaya dapat hindi ka nag-promise sa kin. Sige Miss Nela mag-sorry ka sa kin! (My Mama Donna told me that you shouldn't promise something unless you can keep it. You shouldn't have told me that I can sit in your class yesterday if you knew you can't come. So now say sorry and apologize to me!)

Teachers who heard tried so hard not to laugh... they can't believe that a little boy who's not even 3 years old that time could scold a 28 year old teacher...
