Listening to these little misses one day is like listening to the little, cute contestants of a noontime show.

Little Miss a: When I grow up, I will not marry.

Me: Why?

Little Miss a: I will only have children. I will not marry. That would be much better.

Little Miss b: (Silent.)

Little Miss c: We are going to a party.

Me: Oh, really? Whose party?

Little Miss a and c: Our cousin.

Little Miss c: I will wear a beautiful dress. It will be a contest of beautiful girls like me.

Me: (Laughs.)

Now, who’s gonna win the Little Miss Philippines contest?
