Eavesdropping

It was hard not to listen to their conversation... Manang's voice was so loud and it seems to echo inside the tricycle we're in...

She was telling a friend of how outrageous and ill-mannered the youth are nowadays... In other words, my generation has a twisted character. I just listened. Even though I really wanted to give my reaction, I know I'm not in the position to do so. She related how they (in the olden times) would obediently follow their parents' orders, and compared it to how the younger people of 2008 would talk back to their folks.

I felt a sense of guilt. I quarrel with my parents. Often, I don't pay attention to their suggestions because I feel like I know what to do with my life... But generally, my relationship with them is harmonious. I don't fear them, I respect them and love them.

Anyway, back to the conversation of Manang and her friend, Manang suggested that the reason for the change of behavior of the youth is due to milk... Whaaaat?? I don't know.. But she went further by saying that since babies are fed with bottled milk, the character and attitude of these bottle-fed babies have become animal-like... Owww? So? You mean, I'm like a cow since most of the processed milk are from cow's milk? I don't want to believe her theory...

The sound of the engine boomed and overpowered Manang's voice... End of story.
