"Love, sabi ni Reez may kailangan lang ako bilhin saglit. May nasira na prop."
"Anong prop? Baka naman pwede pang ayusin yun. Akin na, baka may magawa pa."
"Hindi eh, malaki yung sira. Basta, babalik din ako agad."
"Dad, where are you going po?"
"I'm just going out to buy something 'nak"
"May I come with you po?"
"Of course, bud. But ask mom first."
"Mom? May I?"
"With those brown puppy eyes? Who could resist? Ok sige na, anak. But stick with dad lang, ha?"
"Yes po! Love you, mom!" "...."
"Sometimes, I wonder where you got that sweetness from, anak. Hahahahaha."
"Syempre, sakin."
"Right. Hahaha! O, punta na kayo. Baka mapagalitan ka pa ni Reez, love."
"Ok, we'll be quick."

"Dad, pwede po tayong stop sa flower shop?
"A flower shop? Why, anak? And how do you know about flower shops?"
"I just want to give mom some flowers po
because our teacher told us that we should always make our mom happy. Tapos, tapos *fiddles with seatbelt* she said kahit flowers lang daw po enough na daw po. And then I asked her where I could buy them, and she said at a flower shop po."
"Sometimes, anak, I find it hard to believe you're only 7. You're such an amazing kid. Your mom and I are so lucky to have you. I love you, bud."
"I love you too, dad."
"O, there's a flower shop. Wait, let's park right in front of it."

"Hi mommy!"
"Hi sweetheart! What took you so long?"
"Hi love. For you, o."
"Oh? What are these for?"
"Not my idea. Ask your so- nevermind. Direcho punta kay Baste hahaha! Kasi nung pabalik na kami, nagkwento sya na sinabi daw ng teacher nila to always make their moms happy. Tapos flowers lang daw sapat na. So ayun, nagpabili sya. He picked the color kasi he knows it's your favorite, tapos I picked the flower kasi it's your favorite din."
*pause*
"How did we get so lucky with him, love?"
"I ask myself that question every day.
"Sandali nga. Joaqui? Baby? Can you come here for a second, please?"
"Yes, mommy?"
"Can I give you a kiss and hug?"
"Ok po."
