Do you whisper to Kuya Tyler, baby? Coz he chatters about you right out of the blue.
The bedtime chatter tonight –
Tyler: Do you miss Sofia, Mommy? I miss Sofia.
Me: Yes, I miss Sofia.
Tyler: But your eyes are not red. But I hear your sipon. (colds)
Me: I miss Sofia but I’m not crying.
<after some time>
Tyler: Sofia died before us. Because there was a problem with her heart.
<sigh> … All this said with that cute toddler matter-of-factness.
Now my eyes are red.
