The fun of parenting

I was simply amazed when my eldest son blurted out "Aguy, Lord!" as an expression of despair over a parent's stubborness or stupidity. Gropping for a possible response, I would simply mimic his "Aguy, Lord!" while making faces. Sometimes this out-of-blue expression makes me laughing agonizingly - its innocence, its profundity of the immense thing in the midst of the greater scheme of things, in the presence of the Lord.

I noticed that he would say this when I would not buy him a toy, or when I would not drive him to SM on a Sunday afternoon or when he would be amazed of something which could be done impossibly. And everytime I hear these two words, a smile grows in my face.
