overheard

From ze hubby his morning, while preparing Ziv's breakfast of oatmeal porridge with pear puree and cinnamon:

Buti ka pa Ziv nakatikim ka na ng cinnamon. Nung bata ako ang natikman ko lang na spice paminta.

(You're lucky Ziv. You've tasted cinnamon already. When I was young, the only spice I got to taste was ground pepper.)

I think this is the beginning of the many "when I was young" spiels.
