The other day, my mother told me this story as she marveled about how smart her grand daughter is......
Lizzie was going down the stairs and was quite in a hurry....so my dad asked her why she was rushing....
Lizzie said, she was going to urinate and had to use the bathroom downstairs as her A-hia (Niccolo) was taking a bath in our bathroom....
my dad aske
d why she couldn't just wait for her a-hia to finish...
and this was my 6 year old daughter's answer.....
"Ang-kong, hindi dapat magpigil ng pag-ihi, kasi you will have U.T.I.".....
and both her ang-kong and her a-ma were so surprised that at 6, she knew about UTI or Urinary Tract Infection.....
Then we all laughed as I recalled the same incidents when she was only 3 years old.....
My patients would be telling me about their kid's problems at my clinic....while Lizzie would just be reading or coloring, outside the clinic door, but would then be giving free consultations....
for example...
I had a patient who said her child had fever.....Lizzie, outside the door, suddenly said..."For fever, give Paracetamol."...
then on another occasion, a mother complains about her child's cough and colds....
and Doctora Lizzie says...."For cough, give Ambroxol and for colds give Loraped."...
On both occasions, the patient's mom would laugh and marvel at how young (3 years old) and how attentive she was.....
It's always great to have a smart kid, but it also makes your job a little harder as a father...
when you have a kid who absorbs everything like a sponge, then you have to be very careful about what you say or talk about...
she is always listening and always trying to learn.....
I was my children's first teacher.....
I'd also like to believe that I will always be their favorite teacher.....
I'd also like to be their longest....
their most patient....
their most understanding....
their most responsible....
and their most loving teacher.....
again....I have got my work cut out for me.....
but, for the mean time,
I'll just enjoy Lizzie's smart remarks and antics.
GOD BLESS OUR KIDS!
