I am always amazed when I hear the conversations among my TWO-YEAR-OLD PUPILS...

While playing and running...
Child 1: (Shouts the name of Child 2 because she was accidentally hurt.)
Child 2: Hindi ko sinasadya... Hindi ko sinasadya 'yun...
(Child 1 looks at Child 2 as if saying, "Okay, I accept your explanation.")
At naglaro na sila ulit. :D
