I didn't comment to his remarks and instead, I turned my back and get in to my car. Laughingly, he followed me.
I drove him to where his care was parked and after that, we convoyed to the nearest 7/11.
Inside, we bought two cup noodles, donuts, two cans of beer and some other snacks that I don't think we can eat.
"These will kill our kidneys," he said.
I shrugged. "I didn't ask you to buy whatever I will be buying. Gaya-gaya ka lang," I said.
"Because, I don't have any idea which I will buy," he answered.
I arched my brow. "I thought you ate here?" I asked, staring at him judgmentally.
"I do! But not these. I like their ready-to-eat food," he answered defensively. "Though, their giniling is really annoying." He added.
I couldn't disagree though.
Totoo naman kasi. Nakakainis naman talaga 'yung giniling nila. Parang ayaw mag pakain.
In the end, Elijah still ate the food we bought and I can see that he enjoyed it.
"You don't like fancy things, no?" He asked out of the blue.
