You may ask who fired me? The boss of all the bosses in my house – my daughter. As you may all know, during day time, I am a professional driver, yaya, financer, etc; in short a full time single Mom.

This morning, my daughter had her voice lesson, so I waited for her at the canteen of her school. Her teacher called me because she said, “Nature’s calling.” I got up and assisted my Hannah (my daughter) to the CR. While in the CR, she doesn’t seem to act like she wants to poo or wee, but she was playing with the water. So, I assumed she just wants to play with the water, so I took her out of the CR to go back to her class again. While going out she shouted, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!” I didn’t know where she heard that one, but mostly its a line from the TV, because like me, she loves watching TV. When she got back to her class, she started acting up and told her teacher (She speaks in english better than I do, so she uses it most of the time.), “I can’t do this anymore. I could not sing and dance!” Since it was nearing her time anyway, we got off early.

After her voice class, we then went to her other school that corrects her bad behavior. While in the car, I corrected her because while me and my Mom were talking, she keeps on disturbing. Upon correcting her, she shouted again, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!”

After her behavioral class, we then went to a mall to buy some things needed at home. At the shopping store, there was an ice cream kiosk that sells Php 5.00 for every scoop, which is quite cheap, so I bought one. Hannah was asking for one as well. I said, “You are not allowed to eat ice cream because the doctor prohibits you. You have ashtma, you are hyperactive and you are now caughing, it’s not good for you.” I was eating my ice cream in front of her, so she got angry again and shouted, “Mommy, You’re FIRED!”

There, I got fired more than I think I should have been, and that’s just the story I could remember, but I heard those words more than that today. As I have mentioned, regardless, I will still do my duty as a full time single Mom. I guess my daughter couldn’t fire me. I am the best she could have. That is why God chooses me to have her. Who could top that decission? No one else

To Hannah, if you read this one day, I know you will laugh so hard. You can’t fire me baby, and I won’t ever quit! I love you and your baby brother. Mommy has never been so proud for having the two of you.
