Riding jeeps can be fun. That's because, sometimes, you get to see unusual scenes played in real life by actual characters.
One morning, while going off to work, there was this yaya-child tandem who boarded the jeep. The yaya was clearly new to the city, glancing at the myriad buildings along the highway.
When it was time to pay the fare, it was the kid who did it for both. She stood up, went to the driver, and paid the fare. She could have passed it on to the other passengers but she did it herself, a clear sign that she was also a novice at riding jeeps. The yaya just stared on nervously.
Then, when it was time to board off, it was the kid who yelled at the driver to stop the jeep. Then the kid, exasperated at her inept yaya, began returning the extra money to her yaya's coin purse. It was also the kid who got off the jeep first, with the subservient yaya carrying her stroller, trailing behind her.
After that, everyone laughed at the spectacle ( Yeah, I know. You won't break a smile reading my reenactment but it was really funny if you had been there). Someone also commented, "Ilisa na imong yaya, day!"
Haay. The scene was both funny and sad. You just don't get those spectacles by riding your own car every day.
