Setting: in Lolo and Lola’s manor house during a family reunion

Lolo: Honey, are all our children present?

Lola: I’m not sure Darling, I haven’t seen Bulakbol or his son Bading.

Tita OldMaid: There! Mom, Dad, don’t waste your time waiting for those two unaddressed people. Maybe they hung out with their pimps last night!

Tita Doctor: Old maid! Don’t talk like that to Mom and Dad, especially when you mean our little sister, Bulakbol. Yes, he made a wrong decision when he did not focus on his studies, but that was already in the past.

Tita Oldmaid: That was in the past, but her current life is affected and she has a sissy son. What a big mistake and she will suffer that consequence forever.

Attorney Tito: Old woman, yes, it was a shame for our family that the only young child of our next generation is a sissy, but according to Law, every man has his rights to live and be properly respected as a human being. Don’t treat our nephew like that.

Dad: Hey sisters and brother, let’s stop this discussion, there is nothing to discuss. We are all here to be together and make this day a happy day for our parents.

Girl: Daddy, Daddy, why do we have this family reunion?

Dad: Girl, we have this family reunion to reunite with our extended family, be with your grandparents, share the blessings and life stories of others.

Mommy: We are also here to bond with the whole family and feel the feeling of being with them.

Attorney Tita’s Wife: We are also here for you to have the opportunity to meet your cousins. Here’s your Ate Engineer, even though she’s years older than you, she still likes to play with her Barbie collection. She is also willing to share her collection with you, Young Lady.

Ate Engineer: Come on, young lady, let’s play with my latest Barbie dolls. I here the Kiddie Barbie and Angel Barbie.

Girl: Let’s go, Ate Engineer.

Young Boy Bading: Good morning everyone! Hello Ate Engineer! Hello young lady! Where are you going? Are you going to play with those dolls?

Girl: Yes, Ate Engineer invited me to play with her Barbie dolls.

Young Boy Bading: Okay, I also brought my own Barbie dolls, can I join you?

Ate Engineer (not so convinced): Ok, you can.

Tita Bulakbol: Hello sisters! Hi brother! Hello mom and dad! We are late?

Tita OldMaid: As usual, like before in school.

Lolo: Old woman, Old woman … Could you forgive this day?

Tita OldMaid: Ok, I’ll shut my mouth.

Tita Bulakbol: How is everyone? My son, hmmmm … daughter … whatever you call him, he’s very good at designing dresses. At her young age, she had already designed these dresses and is now making money. That is why we are late today. We tried to finish some of the orders last night.

Lawyer Tita’s Wife: Really? That’s great! Your child can be of great help to you.

Lawyer Tito: But don’t forget to teach him the importance of finishing a degree, eh!

Tita Bulakbol: Yes, I have learned my lessons, if only they gave me the opportunity to go back to school, I will.

Lola: Why not, Bulakbol? You can have your inheritance earlier to have money to send you to school.

Tita Bulakbol: For now, I’d like to focus more on guiding Young Boy. As you can see, she had chosen to act like a girl. I still hope that a miracle will happen and make him a real boy.

Mom: Why don’t you divert his attention and interest to things that could help him develop his skills as a child? Like, instead of letting him play with dolls, play with him using a ball or let him join the companies of boys instead of girls. Instead of designing dresses, you might also be interested in designing houses. What you think?

Tita Bulakbol: Oh great! That is a very good suggestion!

Bading Boy: Mommy! Mommy! Look! Ate Engineer showed me these beautiful houses! I want to make wonderful house designs like these!

Attorney Tito: Oh yeah Boy Bading, that career would be great! And that will make me proud of you!

Dad: You will even earn higher income in that career, keep it up, son. You will be great in the future!

Young Boy Bading: Thank you for your support. I promise that I will try to change my preference. I will do my best to become a pride of this family. The whole time I thought that Mom and I had only brought misfortunes to this family. Now, I have shown that we are important too.

THE END.
