(Tyler’s New Thingies)
Okay, okay.
This has been on my mind for quite some time now,
but I just never got around to it.
Blame it on absent-mindedness, laziness,
procrastination or even absent-mindedness.
But before you do,
in my defense,
I spent a lot of time, pondering on the philosophy of
Tyler’s DVD videos.
(You know, just trying to exercise my dormant little mind.)
Like,
From Toy Story 2,
Why is it that Woody never remembers about his popularity in the old days?
Was it because he is currently being loved by his owner, Andy?
Jesse and Stinky Pete surely remember their past,
but they currently have no owners, so maybe that allows them to think back?
How come Buzz Lightyear couldn’t accept that he was a toy from the first movie?
Was it because he was woken up by Woody, before he felt Andy’s love and care?
Just like the way Buzz has woken up the 2nd Buzz Lightyear in part 2?
Am I the only one concerned about this kid, Andy,
having Bo Peep and Barbie dolls in his room?
His sister surely is too young to handle these girly toys.
And don’t you think these kid’s cartoons have something against parents?
Haven’t you noticed how in these movies,
there is always an issue with regards to parents?
Andy has no Dad.
Nemo’s Mom got slaughtered by a Barracuda.
Mufasa, Simba’s dad, died from a stampede.
Tarzan’s folks died too, devoured by a cheetah.
And Bambi’s mom died from bullet wounds.
Am I the only one concerned about this disturbing trend?
So anyways,
What was I saying?
Oh yeah!
Tyler’s New Thingies!
T. N. T.
Sorry, I got sidetracked there.
See what I mean?
See how much time I waste, analyzing stuff like these?
As I was saying,
My plan for this T.N.T.
Every once in a while,
hopefully a couple of times a month,
I would write down new things that Tyler does. Or say.
The kid is talking non stop, and starting to make sense.
And it’s such an exciting feeling when we get to decipher what he is trying to say.
I wanted to write those down, so I can look back here and remember
how crazy this has been.
He says a bunch of words now,
Like, Hi Daddy!,
(or mostly No! Daddy.)
Hi,
Bye,
and Nite-nite.
He can count from 1 to 15.
But pronounces “seven” as “siete”.
(got some Spanish in him too)
Nemo is “Meemo”
Dory is “Dowee”
Woody is “Wooey”
And Buzz is “Buhhhh”
So anyway,
He also imitates some scenes from his movies.
Like, from Toy Story 2,
When Woody tries to save Wheezy from being sold at the Yard sale,
and tries to think on how to do it?
Tyler can do that flawlessly.
And whenever Buzz Lightyear shouts,
“To infinity…..and Beyond”
He pronounces “Beyond” as “iyot”.
Which, actually is a word in the Philippines.
And I know, some of my Filipino friends who are reading this
are probably laughing now,
So, for the sake of our non-Filipino friends,
I will continue and say what that word meant.
See, the Philippines has more than 80 local dialects.
And in one of them,
“iyot” means…. “__CK”
Okay….wait..
maybe I can’t say it.
Oh Well,
I’ll just assume you guys know it by now.
I gave you 50% of the word already.
So anyway,
Stay tuned for more T.N.T. ‘s next time.
