I just want to share a funny
conversation that transpired two months ago when I stayed at my
cousin's house in Pasig. I hope that you find it funny too.
Mwahahaha.
My 6-year-old niece and I were at the
living room. I couldn't remember anymore what I was doing but the
niece was texting using her mother's cellphone. She was still
starting to learn using the said technology. Then,
Niece: Ate, nag-text ako sayo. Basahin
mo.
(Ate, I just sent you a message. Read
it.)
Me: Wala dito ang cellphone ko, nasa
taas. Kunin mo na lang.
(My cellphone isn't here, it's in the
bedroom. Just get it.)
Niece: Saan mo nilagay?
(Where did you put it?)
Me: Malapit lang sa mouse.
(It's near the mouse.)
So the niece went upstairs, opened the
bedroom door, closed the door again and called me..
Niece: Ateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
Me: Bakit?
(Why)
Niece: Eh natatakot ako eh.
(I'm scared.)
For a second, I tried to analyze why
she got scared. And then it dawned on me, she thought that the mouse
that I was referring to was the scary animal. I also realized that
she didn't know that 'mouse' is the term to the thing that she's been
using to scroll, to zoom, to point and to click on their personal
computer.
Me: hahahaha! Hindi daga ang tinutukoy
ko! Yung mouse, yung ginagamit mo sa computer na hinahawakan ng
kanang kamay mo. Yung ginaganito mo oh (sabay demonstrate).
(It's not the animal that I'm talking
about. The mouse, it's the one that you're using that you're holding
on your right hand while you're using the computer.)
She went back to the room and finally
got my cellphone. She checked it and the message she sent to me
didn't arrive. Her mother then told her that her cellphone has no
load. Nyahahahaha.
That's my niece. Kids are funny most of
the time because they still do not know a lot of things. :)) Admit
it, ignorance is humorous.
Speaking of mouse, I bought one this
month. I was frustated before with the mouse that I purchased from
CDR King. Although it was only P150, the performance sucked and it
only lasted for around two weeks. It was not even worth the price.
They should have sold it for around P50. So from that experience, I
resolved on buying an expensive one to get a good performace and
longevity.

P950 for a mouse for me is a pain in
the pocket. But it's really okay, it's working well, so well. And
besides, it has a one year warranty. I'm highly confident that this
would last long.
