Accidently holded a stranger's hand
Here i was in the supermarket with my mom on a sunny Saturday. Me and my mom buyed some vegetables and fruits my mom was in the wet vegetables isle it was as wet as if had sweated in the sun before going in the cooler. I was checking the avocados then i saw my mom went off then i hold my moms hand then i started to talk to her in filipino(‘’Mommy Maaari akong magkaroon ng kendi doon sa istante’’) Then i glanced at her and it was not my mom.I scream inside my head i felt like was going to explode like Mayon(A filipino volcano) I could feel myself turning red as a strawberry.I wanted to shrink like a duwende(a filipino mythical creature known as a elf,goblin,dwarf who can give you good fortune and bad fortune so in the philippines you need to say tabi-tabi- po when your going to a garden or a forset or any where with nature.Meaning excuse me im coming through so you don’t get bad fortune.Anyways carrying on or i wanted to hide like a shy turtle hiding in its shell.
Then my mom called’’Ebe’’(my nickname)and she whispered to me ‘’when you accidentally hold her hand she got shocked!’’ but my mom wasn't angry she laughed and I blushed just like a Anime character saw her crush or whatever and i will promise myself not to do that again!
Haha oh no Anica that would have been very embarrassing holding a strangers hand. I also would have screamed inside. I really like the way you added some Filipino and the meaning into the story.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs Thomason Some people say if you add something that you are from or whatever that kind of means you are proud of your country but normally u don't need to that if u want
