Perception!

AJ and her Dad we're about to go upstairs to get ready to bed when all of a sudden AJ said:


AJ: Daddy, you're so LAZY! and
Mommy is so MAARTE! and
I am a BEAUTIFUL GIRL!

Daddy: Do you even know what Maarte means? And you are Maarte.
AJ: No you are maarte.
Daddy: Do you know what Maarte means?
AJ: NO!

Nyahaha...

In times like this I just wish the hubs was able to capture it on video so we could just watch it over and over if we wanted something to laugh about and we can also send it to her grand parents to see how funny she can be at times hahaha…. Burn2DVD.com can be a great help if you want to turn the video of your love ones into a movie.

I googled the word MAARTE and here's what I found. There's no direct translation of the word. But usually, Maarte is used to describe a girl (most of the time) who acts too girly or flirty. It's also used to describe people who care too much about a certain things, mainly about their looks but also being a perfectionist. If people notice that you care a lot about a certain thing, they could possibly call you MAARTE.

So, basically girly, flirty, and sometimes perfectionists are used to define the
meaning of MAARTE.

i think "maarte" here means a lot worse than just being kikay. parang nabigyan na sya ng negative connotation.

good to know that AJ knows these terms! :)

happy weekend jetty!

Hi Kg! She actually doesn't even know what that means. She just heard me one time calling her DAD maarte. Gaya gayang bata :)

Careful what you say in front of kids (better warn other adults too), they might use a word (a bad word heard from you, your husband, or relatives) to your shock and amusement.
