Wednesday is bonding time with Mom.

Wednesdays means my car is coding. It also means time with my Mom.

There are times when it would be all "what- are- you- doing- with- your- life" conversations, sometimes it would be about telling me about her dreams of undergoing smart lipo or a face lift or the latest beauty products, and then there are the family chismis. The recent one being great news.

But this morning, while I was driving (when she gets chatty kasi she gets distracted driving...) she told me her encounter in her gym's sauna. There was a nosy 27yo making chika with all the other moms in the sauna. The questions were "too personal" my mom said. I guess it backfired. That 27yo got ganged up by all of the moms in the sauna when she told them she "did it" with her boyfriend of 5 years.

"Pakasal na kayo tagal niyo na!" 
"Tsk binigay mo na pala lahat." 
"Habang bata ka pa sulitin mo na yang boyfriend mo. Pag mag-asawa na kayo bad breath ang kasama mo, may utot pa." 

And then the funniest remark was made.

 "O nga, 'uso' yang premarital sex ngayon."

Mom: Walang premarital sex nung panahon namin!
Shali: I'm sure meron na yun, matagal na yang term na yan eh.
