multi-masking

In this entry, I mentioned this:

And today was a perfect example of #7.

Key players:
M – me
P – my younger sister

Scenario: My younger sister browsing Facebook to add people she knew from way way back, like pre-school way back.

P: Babs, tanda mo pa yung best friend ko sa Seton nung prep ako, yung si Hazel* ba yun? (Babs, do you still remember my best friend back in pre-school, that Hazel girl?)
M: Oo… (Yup…)
P: Hindi ko na maalala yung apelyido nya… gusto ko sya hanapin dito sa Facebook… (I can’t remember her surname, I want to look her up here in Facebook.)
M (without batting an eyelash): Castillo*- (P starts doubling over with laughter) Ano? Yun naman talaga ang apelyido nya. Castillo. (What? That’s her surname. Castillo.)
P: Bakit alam mo??? Bakit ako na best friend nya hindi ko alam pero ikaw alam mo??? (How come you still remember it? How come I’m her best friend and I don’t know it but you do?)
M: Oo na, ako na ang tinipus.

*Name changed to protect the girl’s identity. ^^
