Angel

E's Angel - Heidi

Ninja: can boy be angel?
Me: Yes.
Ninja: then I think that my fish is now an angel because it died.

E and A had been asking for PET for a while. No way that I am getting a dog or a cat. No way that I am going to take care of another "creature" or "live animal" in the house.  So papi thought that fish might be a good and "easy" option. He went ahead and bought a fish tank and a heater from amazon. A few days later, we stopped by an aquarium to buy two fish, where we found out that having fish as a pet was not as simple as we thought. Ended up spending another $50 on feeds, filter, and decorations, the kids went home happy with Heidi (E's fish) and Teacher (A's fish) and promised to feed them twice a day.

They got so excited with the feeds that instead of feeding two little balls, they threw in a few more at each feed. Obviously, three days later, Heidi was up-side-down. And Teacher was gone a few days afterwards.

100?

(dated Oct 11, 2016)

Ninja: mommy, how can yo not be dead when you are 100?
(I think what he meant was how to live until 100 years old.)

Me: you need to exercise, eat well, sleep well and be happy.
Ninja: alright. I am always happy when you are happy. I am happy when you are not bad.

jajajajajaj...my little jedi is going to live til 100.

God

(dated Oct 2, 2016)

Ninja: I am going to talk to God.
Me: ok.
minutes passed...
Me: so what did you tell him?
Ninja: I told him to please make daddy come home very fast and make him not to fall asleep and so tired.
(papi is arriving mid-night from a trip.)
Me: so you were asking God to take care of daddy?
Ninja: yes.
after a while...
Ninja: mommy, is God real?
(man, another hard question)
Me: He is real if you think he is real and you believe that he is real.
Ninja: Ok (smiling) then I think God is real.

It's not fair!

el ninja's piggy bank collection

Me: E, can you please do your bed?
Ninja: why do I have to do it all the time? You haven't given me any coin for a long time.
(there was a period of time that I gave him a coin for doing his bed to teach him about saving money and piggybank)
Me: well, because it is YOUR bed so you have to do it.
Ninja: it's not fair! You give T (the housekeeper) money for doing the bed but not me. Not fair!
Me: (speechless, again)
