Since we were on vacation mode in Australia, we pretty much gave in to everything that he wanted...

Dada: Diin mas gusto mo, Singapore kung Australia?
Thirdy: Australia e.
Dada: Nga-a haw?
Thirdy: Kay may chips!


*********************************************************************************

He only brought along two of his matchbox cars in Australia so...

Dada: Diin mas gusto mo, Singapore kung Australia?
Thirdy: Singapore
Dada: Nga-a haw?
Thirdy: Kay may toys!


*********************************************************************************

He is often reminded to say 'please' as he usually forgets to say it...

Me: Nga-a indi ka gid ka hambal 'please'?
Thirdy: (makes an excuse) Kay gaguba guba baba ko maghambal ko sina.
Me: Oh? Sige hambal bi 'please'?
Thirdy: P-p-p-pl-pl-plesssss (deliberately prolongs and mispronounces the word).


*********************************************************************************
These one-liners and exchanges all took place when he was two-years-old. He is turning 3 soon, and I am sure we will continue to be delighted, surprised, and amused by his toddler logic.
