Who's My Daddy?

posted by letter shredder at 3:12 PM

I exited the metro and chose to go home to my parents in Cavite last Friday due to the political tension that arose last Friday on Ayala Avenue (just about 5 1/2 cartwheels away from the office).

I enjoyed the weekend despite being bothered by what can actually happen to the country, to the business, and to my friends who work in the media. I was able to spend two days with my baby brother. I was able to watch TV and saw my official cosmopolitan beef who is now endorsing a multivitamin.

And last night, I had a short conversation with my mom:

ME: Mom, I just realized that despite the resemblance, Sydney (my sister) and I look differently.

MOM: Each of you (siblings) looks differently.

ME: (discerning the truth, without any pause) Who's my father?

MOM: (plays along) I don't exactly remember.

I wonder how many times a week my parents think of what they've done wrong in bringing me up.
