parol

The little one had an assignment last Friday to bring a parol to school which will be used to decorate the classroom for the holidays. When I got home, I asked him about it...

Me: Did teacher like the parol you brought to school?

Gabby: Huh? What parol?

Me: The one that mommy bought for you. Remember the big colorful star?

Gabby: I didn't bring a parol to school.

Me: But that's your assignment, right? Mommy even put it in a plastic bag so you can carry it.

Gabby: Oh! You mean the lantern? It's a lantern Nang-nang. I brought a lantern to school. Teacher liked it! She said it was beautiful!

My bad! Lantern nga naman hindi parol! Goodluck when he starts studying Filipino!
