During work one day, I went to Mrs. Cruz (one of the heads when there’s data entry work) to give her the group Cs1 I had just finished. My older brother, who was right behind me, started to annoy me while I was talking to Mrs. Cruz, so she turned her attention towards him:
Mrs. Cruz: Stop bothering her.
Kuya D3: Why? She’s my sister, I can annoy her all I want.
Mrs. Cruz: No, you shouldn’t bother your sister. She’s such a hard worker.
Kuya D3: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Thinking that she didn’t get through to my brother (who was just messing with her), Mrs. Cruz looked at me and said:
Mrs. Cruz: You know, when he does that to you, eat him.
Me: Whaaaa-*insert incredulous look here*
Mrs. Cruz: Yeah, you should eat him.
I started to laugh out of amusement because no one ever told me to eat my brothers in retaliation before. And because she was dead serious and I had no idea how to properly react.
Afterwards, I found out that she was telling me to hit my older brother, not eat him. XD

WTF, LOL. That sounds REALLY weird and awkward coming from a person like her. EAT as in EAT, napaimagine tuloy ako. Tapos yun pala, HIT naman pala yung ibig niyang sabihin.
My imagination’s messed up.. :S

Filipinos should start working with their pronunciation… even with those simple words such as “hit.”

MRS. CRUZ IS NOT FILIPINO, OMG.

Eat him? What the hell, lol.
How did a eat/hit mix-up occur?

Eat him? LOL. I was threw a mango at my brother because he kept annoying me. :))
Ellie said on Jun 27, 2008 at 11:30 am:
Hahaha oh man.. How’d that get mixed up? Rawfl. “You know when he does that to you, you should heet him.” I would have been all “o_O Okay…. Uhh… sure, if you want me to. o.o;;” Haha I can almost imagine your expression :D

Ha…eat your brother. That’s funny. I wish she’d actually meant that, cause that is far more entertaining.
Alex said on Jun 30, 2008 at 6:44 pm:
LOL. WOW.
I’d seriously just start cracking up if someone told me to eat my brother. Well, serves your brother right for annoying you in the first place. ;)

dude, seriously - you updated!? ;)
where do you work these days? wherever it is, i hope you’re enjoying it, despite the annoyance of your brother. and… i’m not sure eating anyone is really the solution. ever. well, maybe sometimes. but not your brother! (unless he was a hamburger or something, but i digress)
i like fried chicken, too.

Lol thats hilarious! At least you didn’t try to actually “eat him” though…
lk said on Jul 10, 2008 at 1:38 am:
Aww haha, I would have been laughing once I realized exactly WHAT she was saying. Although, “eat him” can be funny, it’s still disturbing if she doesn’t crack a smile..

I have a younger brother and two younger sisters. Hmm. This makes me laugh because it just reminded me of “eating” them. Hahaha, it’s so funny even though it meant “hit” him. I agree with Ik. So disturbing that she didn’t crack a smile….
