#5yearoldwisdom

Last night, I still couldn't get over our conversation with my 5-year-old niece.

I went to 7/11 with my two nieces. I treated my high school niece to some food because she rarely visits us.

While we were looking for food, one of my nieces was also busy looking for what she wanted. She suddenly approached me and showed me what she had, saying, "Uncle, I want this!"

Me: I immediately responded that I don't have any money. (She had taken two lipstick-shaped candies worth 40 pesos. Tapos dalawa pa kinuha niya.) Ibalik mo yan.

Niece: No. I want this!😄

Me: Return them. Wala akong pera. Ikaw ipambabayad ko niyan.

Niece: No. I want this!😄

Me: I really don't have enough money with me right now. Kuha ka nalang ng iba.

Then she suddenly left the store with what she took.

Me: Hoy, bawal yan! 😂 Don't leave if you haven't paid for it.

Niece: But I want this!🥹

Me: sabe ko, I don't have any money!

I was surprised when she suddenly got angry and said to me,

Niece: You're working and yet you don't have money?!🤨

Then I thought aba di ako ready non ah 😅 hahahhahah

Me: kuha ka ng isa.

But she even insisted saying,

Niece: What about Breanna? Don't you love her?🥹 (Referring to her sister who was at home).
