MomieJoy: November 2007

Jobo has a fetish for elbows... yes, elbows! No, not his elbows.... other's elbows! My elbows, his dad's elbows, Auntie Cita's elbows, Lolo and Lola's elbows, Bryzzia's elbows, Sophia's elbows, his friends' elbows, his classmates' elbows, his teacher's elbows, our Pastor's elbow, even a stranger's elbow (given the chance!)... oh yes, elbows, elbows, elbows!!!! This started when he was a toddler when he would substitute my "dede" with my elbows (don't ask me why!!!), i would wonder if he actually gets milk from my elbows! And then he realized i was not the only one in the planet who had this part of the body.

Sleeping with him is a nightmare if you are one who needs to count sheep first before falling asleep. Because Jobo cannot doze off without touching somebody else's elbow! And so before falling asleep, you need to go into acrobatics with Jobo trying to grab your elbow no matter how you try to desperately make sure he does not get hold of it. He does this even with his eyes closed! What does he do as soon as he successfully gets hold of your elbow, oh... he stretches the skin, pinches, tickles, if he gets too carried away, he would even lick and suck. Like i said he ADORES elbows!

An example:

When he was in kindergarten he had a classmate named Michaela. A plump, healthy, long-haired girl who would really get so irritated every time Jobo goes near her. I never understood the reason why until one day i was at school while they were lining-up and witnessed why this sweet thing was so pissed off with my son.

While lining up, my son surreptitiously goes at the back of Michaela.

As they were singing "Lupang Hinirang" he starts to tug at Michaela's elbow, with sound effects:
