Innocence is Power

Ivan Ross at Lolo's House

My dad's sister, let's call her tita Eva. Now, tita Eva got married a couple of years back. She married late and all of us knew it would be a real blessing if she would manage to conceive a baby. After one operation and a lot of check-ups however, she blessedly gave birth to my cousin Ivan, who became the clan's darling since then.

Now a couple of days ago, I heard this story from Con who just spent Halloween with tita Eva and her family back at the good ol' Trinidad country.

Tita Eva and Tito Lito (her husband) were having a heated argument while driving. Ivan was at the back sitting with his yaya Fe and half-sister Princess. Now, husband and wife were almost shouting in front. Princess and yaya Fe were both looking out the window, trying not to listen. And then Ivan goes:

"Mommy, Daddy! Tumigil na kayo! At ikaw Daddy, pinakasalan mo si Mommy, at pinanganak niyo pa ako, so stop!"

Husband and wife fell silent. The family continued riding. And there was world peace.
Now, who says innocence is not power?
