Close Encounters of the Little Girl Kind

While I was at the boarding area of Singapore's Changi Airport on my way back to Manila, I was fondly observing this little girl (maybe around 4 years old or so) waiting in line a few people ahead of me. She was with her family and she was obviously bored. To pass the time, she was examining her grandma's big bag, which had drawings of 3 fish in increasing sizes.

Pointing to the first fish, she said, "Big."
Her mom, noticing her, urged her to go on with the next fish.
So then pointing to the next bigger fish, the little girl said, "Mas big!"
Before her mom could react, the girl hurriedly pointed to the biggest fist and said, "Pinaka big!!!" with a smug look on her face.

Epilogue: After laughing good-naturedly, her mom corrected her and told her, "No, it's supposed to be 'bigger'. Cge nga, say 'bigger'?"
Little girl: "Mas big!"

Sabi ko nga eh. Hehehe!

As we went through the boarding pass check, I again noticed another little girl talking to her mom.

Little girl: "Mommy, miss ko na si Yaya."
Mother: "Ako nga din anak eh, miss ko na yaya mo. Haaay."

>_< Kunsumido ata si Mother hahaha! :)))

Moments like these are indeed priceless.
