Nobody Messes With Anika

We went to Anika's pedia yesterday at Asian Hospital. We were waiting for our turn at the waiting lobby along with the other clients of the doctors who were holding clinic there. Alvin and I were seated. Anika was happily running around while Girlie was following her. I can see na cute na cute sila kay Anika because she was screaming and giggling with delight while running around. And then Girlie suddenly said, "Anika, drama ka nga.". And then Anika suddenly stopped moving then shouted "waahhhhhh" while scrunching her face. Then after one second, she laughed and started running around again. Hahahaha! It was so cute, I tell you!

And then I noticed, Anika went to the vendo machine where this one girl was playing. She was like four years old, I think. Anika's head is leveled only up to her chest. Anika approached her and played with the vendo machine too. The girl suddenly grabbed Anika's arm and pushed her away while shouting "Go away! Go away!". Anika got out balanced and if Girlie wasn't able to catch her, malalaglag sa floor si Anika. Girlie turned to me wide eyed as if to say, "Sasapakin ko ito ate!". Na-high blood talaga ako! I looked at the mother and saw that she witnessed what happened. Akalain niyong, she just smiled and then turned back to whatever she was doing in her ipad.

Bwiset. Kaya madaming spoiled na bata sa mundo eh.

I called Girlie to bring Anika over to us na lang. The girl was shouting "Go back to your Daddy!!" while Anika was waddling away from her.

I was so surprised because suddenly Anika turned around and shouted: "OGAG!". Then smiled and ran towards us.

Dyosmiyo! Di ko alam kung matatawa ako or mashoshock!

Did my one year old daughter just say OGAG?! Did she mean it?! Did she really know what that meant?!

Alvin said hindi daw. Maybe she picked it up from Girlie.

I talked to Girlie. I told her to be careful of what she says around Anika. She's trying to imitate already what we say.

"Naku Ati! Kung wala lang yung Nanay nung batang yun dun, tinulak ko din yun! Nakakainis!"

Relax. I tell her. Bata yan eh. A rich and spoiled one at that. Wag na patulan.

After a while, Anika went back to the vendo machine. This time, I was the one who followed her. The girl suddenly ran towards the vendo machine and towards Anika. Then she shouted, "NO! NO! NO!" and then grabbed Anika's arm again and then swung it left and right so that Anika will move away from the vendo machine.

Pucha sorry pero nanggigil na talaga ako.

I grabbed the girl's arm and whispered to her between my gritted teeth, "Let. Her. Go." She did. I scooped Anika up and went inside the doctor's clinic.

Wag daw patulan eh noh?

Grabe. Ganito pala pagmay anak na.

    oh my!it happened to me also, my eldest daughter was of same age as anika. she was playing and running inside a dept. store and suddenly she shouted ouch! ouch!, a boy (about 8 years old)grabbed her ribbon and hair pala as in hinila pa. nanlaki talaga ang eyes ko. my father who was with us grabbed the boy's hand as in sobrang higpit para mabitiwan nya yung hair ng baby ko. gigil na gigil talaga ako and i look for the parents but we found out medyo may pagka abnormal pala yung boy sabi ng lola.. so wala me magawa. i told them na lang. "Sa susunod po wag nyo iwan mag isa apo nyo baka makasakit pa sa iba at patulan cya". haaay kainis di ba?

    After finishing the second paragraph, I was reading this with gritted teeth. Kagigil much yung spoiled na bata. The mom should have at least apologized. IMO.

    Naku pagdating sa anak, ganyan din ako. Magkakamatayan talaga pag may umapi.
    Siguro every nanay naman ganun ang feeling pag nadedehado ng wlang kalaban laban ang anak. Mahirap palawakin ang pang-unawa, kakagigil lalo na pag dadma yung nanay ng naughty child.
    Sabi nga
    "Mess with me, I can handle it
    Mess with my child, I'll bury you alive"

    A mama's gotta do what a mama's gotta do. A big called call Gael ugly in the park. Gael was only 2.5 and could even speak yet. Pinatulan ko talaga. 'Ugly???? You're the friggin ugly one! Go pick on someone your own size!'. Takbo siya sa mommy niya. Buti nga!

    ako rin siguro, mapapatulan ko ang batang yan. sana nag-apologize man lang yun mommy or pinagsabihan nya yung bata. pero, in fairness, go Anika! anak ka talaga ni mommy Fleur!
