Echoes, Jajas and Silence

It was a child's game. Jajas was imitating and repeating what I was saying last night.

Dada:(talking to mama) Alam mo mama love kita kaya promise akong di ko na hawak lagi dede mo. (then I kissed mama on the cheek)

Though Jajas has got this habit of touching his mama's chest which Jody find annoying, he still imitated my action.

Jajas: Alam mo mama love kita kaya promise di ko na hawak dede mo. (then a kiss on the cheek)

Then I tried it again with a little emphasis on doing good things.

Dada:(talking to mama) Alam mo mama love kita kaya di ako gagawa ng bad.
Jajas: Alam mo mama good ako kaya di ako gawa ng bad. (then we kissed mama on the cheek)

I was running out of things to say so I simply said.

Dada:(talking to mama) Alam mo mama love kita kaya love ko din si Jajas. (Then I kissed Jody on the cheek)

I was waiting for an imitation, but Jas simply looked at me smiling. Then suddenly he kissed Jody on the cheek silently.

Jody and I surprisingly stared at each other, then we burst into laughter afterwards with Jajas unsure why we find his action humorous at all.
