Baby, I promise I will always come back. -You promised
Jace sniffled.
Promise? -He asked
You kissed his forehead.
Promise. -You said
Jhoanna grinned.
Okay, but next time... maybe we should teach him that Mommy is allowed to pee in peace? -Jhoanna asked
Jace gasped.
NO!!! -He yelled
You and Jhoanna both burst out laughing.

It was supposed to be a chill evening.
You were in the kitchen, preparing dinner, while Jhoanna and Jace were in the living room. He was quietly watching something on your phone—too quiet.
And then—
Jace, what are you watching?! -Jhoanna said
You froze, already sensing the incoming storm.
Jhoanna snatched the phone out of Jace's tiny hands, staring at the screen.
Anak! You've been watching for two hours! -She said
Jace gasped dramatically.
NOOOO! GIVE IT BACK! -He yelled
Jhoanna raised an eyebrow.
Excuse me? Sinong inutusan mo, ha? -She asked
Jace huffed, crossing his arms.
But Mommy Jho, I was watching Cocomelon! -He said
Jhoanna put her hands on her hips.
You watched too much already! Your eyes will turn square! -She scared him
Jace blinked.
Huh? -He asked
Jhoanna nodded seriously.
Yup. When you watch too much, your eyes will turn into squares. -She said scaring him more
Jace gasped again, touching his face.
No way... -He muttered
You bit your lip, trying not to laugh.
Jace looked up at Jhoanna with puppy dog eyes.
But Mommy Jho... just five more minutes? -He asked
Jhoanna shook her head.
Nope. Time for a break. Let's do something else. -She said
Jace pouted harder.
I don't wanna! -He said
And then—he flopped face-first onto the couch, dramatically sobbing.
MOMMY JHO TOOK MY PHONE! SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMOREEEEE!!! -He screamed
Jhoanna's jaw dropped.
Ano raw?! Anak, overacting ka na! -Jhoanna said
You finally lost it, bursting into laughter.
Jhoanna turned to you with an exasperated sigh.
Love, this is your fault. -Jhoanna said
Jace sniffled louder.
Mommy... please... one more video... -He tried again
Part of the Script -Jhoanna
