“Don’t let anything bother you!” advised Maw tonight while I massaged her painful muscles. “Why? Are you worried about me? If so, you do care but you need to take care of yourself first.”
“But I do worry and take things personally. That’s why at night you’d hear me “gnashing my teeth” — the sounds of crunchy peanuts.” I replied to the “teacher”.
You see, it’s my paternal trait. We do NOT like to be clowned. We will blame you for pointing out our faults. If it weren’t for these “human-made” laws, we’d use our weapons very well, without fear and without remorse. It’s typical of our “bayan”: So don’t tread on us.
