While having lunch the other day, my son was complaining that his
neck was hurting. So my wife touched his neck and was checking where
the pain was. My son said that it was hurting from the left side of
the neck up to his head while chewing.
A little while, I got a pack of chicharon and he saw it and also asked for some. My wife agreed saying lets try a theory.
Giving a piece of the fried pork skin, my son was happily chewing it,
then my wife asked if the neck is still hurting. My son said, it
doesn’t hurt. He said with a smile, ” It only hurts while chewing
rice.”
How many times have we tried to lie to our mothers or fathers when we
want something. Many times, we think we can fool them or that we were
able to get away with it. But very often, they already know what we
were thinking or planning. They have this uncanny sixth sense of
knowing we are telling the truth or not. On the other hand, if we do
get away it this time, sooner or later, they’ll find out.
Parents are not born yesterday. Just because they may not be that
knowledgeable about new trends or technical stuff doesn’t mean they
don’t know something. They have been young once. So anything we
think, they may already have done it themselves. If not, they may
already have heard it from their friends and relatives, or read
something about it somewhere.
History repeats itself because we never learned from it. Something
that just popped into our mind may be new. But just because it was
something new that we thought of doesn’t mean it has not happened
before.
So the next time you try to fool your mom, try and think again.
God bless you.
