the humor of mama

Erbe and I went to dinner at my parent's house and mama cooked a very special meal. It was Bituing Walang Ningning in the tube so I decided to get some food and eat in the living room. I was getting my dinner and I noticed the veggie in mama's dish.
Me: "Ma, ano pong gulay yan?"
Ma: "Halat..."
Then I heard her humming.
Barely discernible.
So I turned and listened...
"Bahay kubo.. kahit munti..."
It was so funny, her humming so seriously that I started laughing.
She suddenly shouted, "Singkamas!"
*sigh.. my funny mama.
by the way, Mrs. Sixteen, her other pig, named for the number of nipples this pig has, gave birth to 13 healthy piglets!
Woohoo!!!
Mama suggested that her being a very good pig-midwife, perhaps she could be mine!
Yeah sure. *snort!
