At the dinner table...
I was telling the kids that their father doesn't like this famous half-Filipino stand-up comedian with a couple of Netflix specials on his belt. He doesn't find him funny at all. I feel the same way too.
The boy said that his jokes are predictable. They're mostly about his mom, and her Filipino accent.
The big sister talking to her little brother in Filipino...
Yna: Kung mag stand-up comedian ka, di maapil sa imong routine ang mag make fun sa accent sa atong mama. (If you become a stand-up comedian, you can not include making fun of Mama's Filipino accent in your routine.)
Jason: Why?
Yna: Because di man mag iningles atong mama nato, ug wa pod siyay strong Filipino accent. (Because Mama doesn't talk to us in English, plus she doesn't have a strong Filipino accent.)
