Kerslyn’s Comfort Zone

Ella, Carol and Donald were here for a couple of days. Carol had a general check-up yesterday and Ella was left in the house with me. We’re all alone in the house and she was instructed not to go out because I cannot look after her. I am on duty from 10AM onwards so I just let Ella watch TV and play her  favorite thing. Before lunch, she asked for money because she’s going to the store to buy some food. Carol and Donald left her 2 doy pack of choco drinks and a bunch of bread and the choco drinks were consumed within 30 minutes. Since I cannot leave in front of the PC, she initiated on getting my purse and handed it to me. But my purse contains coins and it can only buy a piece of candy. I called on a quick break and hurriedly dug on my bag and pockets to check for bills. All I have that time is 500 peso bill so I’m looking for a smaller one. I finally found 50 peso bill inside my bag’s pocket. I handed it to her and she immediately went to the store. After 10 minutes, I am quite worried because she’s not yet back. A few seconds and I can already hear her voice calling out Puto and Maya. I was relieved. I asked her what took her so long and she said “I was in the grasses looking for the grass I used to play with”. A few minutes more and she’s done with her food from the store. She started on playing and asked permission to play the real “kitchen” thing. She used to play with the real tupperwares, glasses, laddle, and other kitchen utensils. I just looked at her as if saying “no” but she instantly said “because you didn’t bought my kitchen toys that you promised yet.” Waaa! She must have a sharp memory. It’s been months when I told her I will buy her the said toys and she hasn’t forgotten it yet. Hence, I allowed her to play the real thing. For the whole day, she went to the store thrice until the last cent of her 50 pesos was consumed. When she went to the store to get her change (because she forgot to get it), she came back telling me “tita, I will buy cards (those cards with photos in it). I already picked my choice.” Hehe. She just came back to tell me she will get one.

The day with Ella is complete. She even did *pooo*. She was trying to turn on the faucet and called me in when her little hands cannot turn it on. The house is literally messy but she did manage to put back her “toys” when she’s done. Then she went out and play with the dogs. She’s already done playing with the cat in the morning so it’s the doggie’s time in the afternoon. She got Maya’s leash and walk her outside the yard. After an hour, she was back inside the house and took a late afternoon nap until Carol and Donald got home.
