PM is petrified at the site of kids.
There is really no rhyme and reason in trying to put together PM and small children. There is something about the way they stare, the way they talk, the way they move that makes me squirm. Clearly, I cannot understand them.
I remember going to church with my sisters and sitting on a row that has empty seats. Three giddy, tiny kids sat next to me and I just felt horror sinking on my stomach. Luckily, they left after a minute or two. They must’ve felt my shivering frame and got scared.
After the mass piapot told me, she and my two other sisters were also horror struck when the kids sat next to me, but in a different way – they wanted to tell the kids with urgency, “Run, run! run for your life!”
Yesterday, PM was being a good nurse and spreading the word against A(H1N1) since there has been confirmed cases here in our province. I had to speak to so many kids, interrupt their classes and conduct health teaching sessions.
When I entered the first room, the kids were silent and staring. I wanted to pass out. But I can’t so I proceeded with what has to be done, over and over, room after room, with kids ranging from 4 years old to 12.
Normally I should be dead by now. But what do you know? I am not and I actually enjoyed talking to them this time. It is indeed very surprising, albeit a little disturbing too. But I guess, it is because of the quality of the kids I was with yesterday. I never thought I would say this in my entire life but they were ‘perfect little angels’. Hmmm… I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they go to a private school that really focuses on their proper growth and development. I should know, my FairyGodMommyFe runs and owns the school.
I guess what I am trying to say is I really had fun with the kids yesterday. Because of that, I think I should check out if pigs has grown wings by now.
Kids are okay with me, they’re not so bad. Of course they will drive you crazy but that’s exactly where the fun in teaching them is. What I don’t like (and I’m so afraid of) are babies. Toddlers. I can manage. Infants, no freakin’ way.
i think babies are cute when they are asleep LOL
Ah…kids.
Yeah, I’m not really petrified by kids but I surely don’t know how to behave near them.
I don’t have that infant side that pops up when a kid comes to interact. A kid normally won’t pop a smile on my face right away nor make my worries vanish. Hell, I think I talk to kids the same way I talk to my friends, parents, teachers. By “the same way” I mean use the same line of thought, build arguments the same way, use the same expressions….I feel unable to differentiate their mental capacity…or maybe I don’t want to.
I don’t know. All I know is that right now I can’t see myself raising a kid 😛
all i can say is i agree to everything! LOL
hahaha! tiny babies scare me, but i often get along alright with little kids. pero pag hindi, WAR! hahahha!
i think i would like to see that war LOL

hmmm. does that mean you’re not intending to have kids ? hehe 🙂
Good for you to provide education to children on the prevention swine flu. That’s true community service 🙂
We got cases here too but what I heard is it isn’t as lethal as SARS and the ones that are gravely affected are the eldery and people with known illnesses. Buti na lang hindi masyadong deadly – ahh, sigh of relief 😯
that is the best part. mababa ang mortality rate niya at hindi ka magiging zombie pag natamaan ka LOL
hmmm.. kakaiba yan ah?
medyo weird talaga.
i don’t kids myself
brat kasi ako ng bata ako
hehe
but when i had my nieces
naiba pananaw ko sa mga bata
well, sa mga pamnkin ko lang (really)
i find them so adorable
i want to adopt them
pero pagdating padin sa ibang bata, suplado pa din ako
hehe
hmmm… we’ll see what will happen to me in the future LOL i hate brats.
hehehe.. buti na lang isip bata din ako.. ahaha

wui ang cute naman niyan!
aha
finally
a weakness
you are a human after all
=)
i am a musang. LOL
ako, akala ko e mahilig ako sa mga bata pero minsan sabi sa kin ng sis ko yung mga bata daw sa eskinita namin e takot sa kin lol!
pero tignan mo naman yaya ako ngayon 🙂
LOL sabi nga nila baka yung mga bata ang takot sakin. at any rate the feeling is mutual!
pinakamabisang pangtanggal ng stress ang kids… sarap makipaglaro…
tama, makipaglaro ka na lang..
or sapakin mo na agad pag makulit! hehe. nakekelam ako ng comments ng may comments. hehe.
LOL wala kang magawa ano?
nakakastress nga eh!
I don’t like kids and they don’t like me. Nagugulat nga ko pag ginagawa akong ninong ng mga pinsan ko sa mga anak nila. =P
LOL baka ganun talaga yun to torture us more, ako din kasi eh!
ngayon ko lang nalaman na takot ka pala sa mga bulilit… hehehe… ako depende sa bata kung dapat nga bang katakutan. hehehe
kahit nakatingin lang sila natatakot na ko.
is there something as “fear of kids”? i have the same reaction to kids, especially that some kids i’ve met are either rowdy or mean. i admit, i fear kids…lol. this is not good at all.
of course there is. fear is normal. but i’m not phobic.
You shouldn’t be scared of kids… they should be scared of you! Hehe… use your power over them!
Seriously, all you need to do is smile, and if your smile is genuine enough, they can tell, and they’d smile back, and I kid you not, you’ll love that. 🙂
that’s my problem. i am scared of them and they do not look scared of me!
Whew. So glad it all went well. Kids really can be intimidating.
yes they can be very annoying too.
actually, pm, it’s more likely the kids that are squirming, and not you.
actually, it is really me squirming.
Hehe! I didn’t like kids very much. Now that I have my own kid, I like other kids a little bit, but of course I love mine to bits!
i hope that will happen to me when the time comes too.
Kids are kids. Enjoy na lang their ka-cute-an and mischievousness all at the same time. 🙂
how can i enjoy them when i am obviously uncomfortable with them?
siguro sobrang kulit na kids yung mga nakakasalamuha mo. wag mo bigyan ng lollipop.
hindi ko nga alam eh hindi na nga gumagalwa na bata may issues pa din ako.
kakaiba ka po ah, bakit kaya ganun ano?
i don’t know basta bad blood kami eh.
Scared of kids or intimidated by their “perfect little angels” image? LOL, you’re terrible PM, kids are the best people we can be friends with. Although in some instances, I recalled sitting in a MTR (train) and this kid was staring at me as if I had this big icky ugh in my face (my moles maybe). I gave her back that devil look as if saying, “cry, pee, cry, pee”.
Anyway, I answered your meme (on my previous previous entry) din’t you notice?
then i must be a really terrible person LOL and i love what you did to that kid, very classic. i saw it already, very fun plus you actually did a meme!
I love kids. But I’m picky. I only love those cute clean kids. ^_^
Confirmed na po ba talaga ung case satin? Lam niyo po ba kung pano napunta sa ating munting lugar?
Sinusundan hata ako, hindi nga ako pumunta ng Olongapo dahil meron sa Zambales..Pinuntahan naman ako dito..
i don’t love kids. from saudi daw yung patient zero natin taga mariveles.
Ahh… Ok poh.. thanks!
you’re scared of kids? that’s funny! were you scared of your younger siblings when they were kids? haha. 🙂
hindi naman sa mga kapatid ko, sa iba lang basta takot ako hihimatayin ako sa kanila.
kids r funny. once i told my 4yr 0ld, after checking his temp because he had a fever, that he had 4 days to live. he cried non-stop. i told him i was just his dad being silly. for months he would just cry at random times thinking he’s gonna die. then he would read the bible every night. traumatized? well, he’s better now. told him to stop being a pussy.
now that is a good trick.
i’m glad you’ve finally got to enjoy time with kids. being with kids is not only fun, it also brings out the kid in us, which is a good thing. minsan kasi we tend to be too serious with life that we forget that life is meant to be enjoyed! 🙂
ewan ko ba basta it is very hard for me to like them para silang aliens.
Hahaha, really? Kids are nice naman ah, coming from me who’s a mother, my kids are nice… hehehe
basta hindi kami nagkakaintindihan ng mga kids hay.
