Chloe's Interesting 'Suggestion' - Part Two

Chloe was with my Tita Terreh and Tita Rochie yesterday afternoon when they passed by the Del Monte Avenue branch of Jollibee.

Almost immediately, she noticed that the multi-level play/activity area of this particular branch was bigger than that of the branch she and Kimmy go to weekly.

She tells my aunt, "Lola Terreh, I have a suggestion...."

Chloe's Interesting 'Suggestion'

My Tita Terreh picks up Chloe and her cousin Kimmy everyday from school. Chloe is done by 10:30 a.m. (although she usually stays at least ten minutes more to play with her classmates), while Kimmy is out by 11:00 a.m.

Every Thursday, they visit Jollibee for their weekly fastfood-and-playtime combo.

Yesterday (Wednesday), as soon as Chloe entered the car, she said, "Lola Terreh, I have a suggestion. Let's change the day we go to Jollibee."

Tita Terreh was a little curious why Chloe would offer a "suggestion" like that. She found out the real motive when Chloe continued with:

"Let's make it today."

Talk about scheming! I think next week it'll be Tuesday. :-)

Who's Green?

A few weeks back, Chloe had one of her worst tantrums ever when she said some really nasty things to her lola (my mom). Mom tried to be really patient with her but eventually got so angry that she had to shout back at Chloe. It was only after this did Chloe start crying/apologizing to my mom (she never knew Mom could get that furious).

Not wanting a recurrence of that episode, Mom had a serious discussion with Chloe recently.

"Chloe, be a good girl all the time, okay? Don't get me mad, because if you do, you won't like me."

"Why?"

"Because I'll turn green."

After a short pause, Chloe says, "How come when I said those awful things to you before, I didn't see you turn green?"
