David Vs Goliath : A Jas Story

My wife, Jody, witnessed a clash between David against Goliath yesterday. Only that it was the other way around.

While buying bananaQs after Jas' nursery class, Jajas was greeted by the infamous Daddy: A 30+ year special person who has a mental age of a young boy. Think of "Rain Man" or "I am Sam", and you'll know what I mean.

"Pahinging limang piso poging baby". teased Daddy. Jas eyed the man, probably surprised on why a grown stranger was teasing and asking for money from a kid.

"Hindi ako baby! boy ako" Jas retorted back.

"Ay sori pala poging....baby " said Daddy smiling and quite happy with the teasing.

Jas, quite crossed, tried to win the argument by shouting "HINDI ako baby... BOY AKO..at hindi ako pogi..GWAPO AKO!!!"

Jody, although laughing at the scene, calmed Jajas down and properly explained why Daddy was acting the way he did.

Daddy, on the other hand, happily left carrying a smile worth more than a five peso coin.
