I Must Be Growing Up

I remember a couple of days ago, Thrina brought some KFC for our lunch after picking the kids up at school. It was already 4pm, so we were both quite hungry. I got one piece and, as is my usual practice, set aside the skin to eat it last. I turned away for a few seconds to talk shop with Thrina and when I looked back, I saw Marco and Noah each tear away a bit of skin and stuff it into their mouths.

Now, anyone who knows me knows how selfish I am when it comes to chicken skin. I swear, kahit mga boyfriend ko dati hindi ko hinahatian ng balat ng manok, kahit gaano ko sila kamahal. Once, a loooooooong time ago, I even elbowed my brother in the ribs because I thought he was making a grab for my chicken skin.

Anyway, it was all I could do to not yank my nephews away from my plate. Knee-jerk reaction... so sue me. I gave them both a really dirty look, but they knew I wasn't mad at them. In fairness, tinirahan naman nila ako. And boys will be boys.

I'm going to miss them when I'm in Florida.
