Foot in Mouth Moments (not an exhaustive list)
Nerd Fetish
At Persian food place with boyfriend and boyfriend’s friends since forever (since way before you entered kinder maybe). Talking about shows that could possibly have been airing at the same decade you and their particular age group were watching tv.
You mention SeaQuest (which aired in the 90s and was about a submarine and a talking dolphin), and the fact that you had a crush on Jonathan Brandis’ awkward adolescent geek of a character Lucas Wolenczyk, and the fact that people say you have a propensity for developing crushes on nerds.
Forgetting of course that your boyfriend, for all that you adore him, can be quite a nerd at times. (The thin frame that can hide behind you completely and the glasses just add to the image of course.)
Father’s Foot in Mouth (not that he cares)
At Shopwise Eastwood, on the slow as an upside down turtle ramp. With father and sisters.
Father (cranky as the car he loves like a daughter- actually more than any of his daughters- seems to be having difficulty accelerating): Ang bibigat nyo kasi!
(Remarking on two quite huge ladies he saw near the entrance as we were getting on the ramp) Sige kumain pa kayo. Pag naging kasing laki nyo ung mga yun di na kayo sasakay sa koche.
Daughter (me, face slowly blushing ripe tomato red in embarrassment) turns around and sees aforementioned quite huge ladies maybe five feet away and most certainly near earshot.
Forgettable You
Parking lot of Metrowalk, on the way to Wheng my friendly neighborhood dvd dealer. Seeing SUV battle for parking slot with equally huge gas guzzler.
Me: I once saw this huge pickup sulot the slot of this SUV and thought there’d be a huge catfight in greenhills parking.
Jones: Eh ako ung kasama mo dun eh!!!!!
Oops.
