in one of our nightly before-bed conversations where i, the toddler-intellect challenged mommy, attempted to defend my thesis on the whereabouts of the universe:

M: where’s the house?
me: in Quezon City.
M: where’s Quezon City?
me: in Manila
M: where’s Manila?
me: in the Philippines
M: where’s the Philippines?
me: in Southeast Asia….

(i know, konti nalang)

M: where’s southeast asia?
me: on earth
M: where’s earth?
me: in the solar system.
M: where’s the solar system?
me: in the universe!
M: where’s the universe?
me: in God’s hands! (thinking that I won…)

M: where’s God’s hands?
me: *patay ulit*
