since pnoy declared nov 16 a non-working holiday, the kids can play plants vs zombies. while playing, i ask bunso if i can use the computer for a few minutes. i will just harvest the black berries i planted four hours ago.
“how many minutes are you going to use the computer?” asks bunso.
“two minutes only,” is my answer.
“is your two minutes long or very long?” he asks again.
i remember the last time i interrupted his game. my two minutes took twenty minutes. i can’t blame bunso for questioning my sincerity.
