ARP 018 - Mother and Son Conversation with Nate the Natter
85 Plays3 years ago
Nate just turned 7 so a few weeks ago, we went and recorded an episode where I ask him random questions to see what his thoughts are. It is a candid conversation and I wanted to record it for memory keeping's sake. Nate is a very talkative boy who always speaks his mind.
To our future Nate, if you are listening to this, I hope this serves as digital memorabilia for you and I hope we're still talking random things even though you're already older. :) We love you and we hope you use your voice to inspire others especially the members of the body of Christ.

Candid Q&A with Nate
00:00:21
Speaker
A few weeks ago, Nate and I recorded an episode where I asked him random questions to see what his thoughts are.
00:00:29
Speaker
It is a candid conversation and I wanted to record it for memory keeping's sake. Nate is a very talkative boy who always speaks his mind and so I want to take advantage of that. To my future Nate, if you are listening to this, I hope this serves as a digital memorabilia for you and I hope we're still talking about random things.

00:02:04
Speaker
How do you feel now? I feel good. You feel good? No, that's good. OK, I have a few questions I'm going to ask you for this podcast episode that I hope you can answer and share. And hopefully someday when you get a little older, you can look back and listen to our conversation. How do you feel now that you are about to turn seven years old? I'm good. I feel good.
00:02:33
Speaker
Is there anything that excites you about turning seven? Yeah. I'm a little bit happy of turning seven. Why? I don't know why I have a feeling. What do you think about being a seven-year-old? I don't know because I'm not there yet. Yeah. Anything you can think of, guess. I think I'd be happy.
00:03:00
Speaker
Can you share with us how your day
Daily Life Adventures
00:03:02
Speaker
looks like? Anobanginagawamo every day. Playing outside sometimes. And then what else? Mojo and some things too. Like? Like playing outside. What do you like playing outside? Happy to play with my friend. Ano no mani la la runo. Tom bambresso.
00:03:24
Speaker
or basketball. What do you like about playing basketball? I don't know what I like about basketball. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what I like about basketball. Okay. Aside from basketball, do you have any other sports that you like to learn or play with?
Learning Soccer
00:03:47
Speaker
I'd like soccer. Soccer? I like soccer. Soccer is also called football.
00:03:52
Speaker
I don't know why I want football, but my brain tells me just learn it already. Anything interesting about football that you like? Yeah. Like what? It will make you thin. What is the meaning of thin? Papayat? Oh yes, papayat. But I like it a lot. It's not sports, right? Yeah.
00:04:24
Speaker
I'm thinking of another game. What about rugby? It's American football. Yeah, it's not too common here in the Philippines.
00:04:45
Speaker
Familiar. Even running. All types of sports I think is tiring. It's a good exercise.
00:04:58
Speaker
Okay. Let's say you have the chance to name everyone or give everyone in the family new names. What would they be?
Renaming the Family
00:05:07
Speaker
What will you name? Let's start with Papa. What will you name Papa? Guaps. Guaps Matougas.
00:05:16
Speaker
Subvert certificate? Yes. What about me? Let's show that in the end. Because I can't put my finger too.
00:05:48
Speaker
I don't know, I can't think of anything too. And then who else? What about spots if you're going to rename spots?
00:05:59
Speaker
If you guys didn't know, Spotty's our dog. I would like to name Spot. It's a bad word, not kasama. It's Spot. It's a bit spicy.
00:06:18
Speaker
It's not really our dog. Yeah, but spicy is like a friend of Spots. It's frost. Frost? Frosty. Frosty? What is frosty? It's not spicy. Okay, okay, okay. Ayan, another question is, if you are going to write a book, what will it be about?
Nate the Author: Biography Ideas
00:06:40
Speaker
About my life.
00:06:56
Speaker
Also, it's like a biography. Biographies, I think, about your life. I think geography is science. Geography is about places. Ah, yes. All right. So what makes you feel good, Nate? For example, you feel good and you feel good.
00:07:09
Speaker
Yeah, what do you like to talk about in that book? A lot of things.
00:07:26
Speaker
Yeah, I give people money a lot. And that makes you feel good, giving money. Why money when you can give things? Maybe to someone, homeless. Homeless? Yes. So you like to give? What else? So giving makes you feel good. Yeah, sharing things makes you feel good. That's a good Anno.
00:07:54
Speaker
What are we telling you about sharing? Be careful also, no? Because sometimes people would take advantage of you. But as long as you have the right motive here in your heart and you want to help out
00:08:11
Speaker
And that's really good. Can you share with us your school experience now that there's COVID? It's good. And sometimes there's trouble. Trouble how?
00:08:30
Speaker
I don't travel. I don't travel. I don't travel. I don't travel. I don't travel. I don't travel.
00:09:00
Speaker
Would you rather have modular classes? How is that possible? I think if it's face to face, it's gonna be face to face for good.
00:09:36
Speaker
Did you notice any difference in the way we teach you?
00:09:54
Speaker
You're supposed to talk, Nate, and not make science, because this is a podcast. Podcast is audio only. They cannot see what you're doing. They can only hear you.
00:10:06
Speaker
Okay, if you were a teacher, you can teach your students anything. How are you going to teach that to them? How will you encourage your students to share?
00:10:28
Speaker
I don't know. Okay, I'm not a teacher. So you like to teach them about sharing. Now what's tricky about sharing is you have to be a good example, or when it comes to teaching, you have to be a good example.
00:10:47
Speaker
and you are not going to become an effective teacher. So if you're going to talk about or if you're going to teach your students about sharing, then they have to see it in you that you are sharing.
Charity and Giving Back
00:11:03
Speaker
Now, speaking more about sharing, if you could give $1,000 to people or to a group of people, $1,000 is like 54,000 pesos. It can be a person, a group, a denomination, an organization.
00:11:28
Speaker
I would pay them to charity. Oh, charity. And there's a lot of different charities. My charity for children, for old people, for a non-charity, for young people. So I'm gathering food stock. Food bank, I mean. Food bank. So you will give food supplies to all people. Check a bank.
00:11:52
Speaker
What do you mean bank? What do you mean by bank? Bank is where you store money. How will you relate that to food? Wait, wait, wait. For example, I don't know if it's because of food banks. What do you mean by Walmart? Oh, grocery stores? Yes. What do you mean by that? How do you say grocery? Yes. What do you mean by grocery?
00:12:18
Speaker
Ah, you will have supplies available for people.
00:12:38
Speaker
I'm Walmart. Walmart is a business. So you'll give it to centers that help dogs. Yes. That's good. If you think, well, I mean, do you think you understand Tagalog English? Yes, but not too much now.
00:13:05
Speaker
Yeah. Do you think it's fun to learn another language? Don't go away. We'll be back after the break.
00:13:29
Speaker
Do you think it's fun to learn another language? Sure. Sure? What do you mean sure? Is that yes or a no? Yes, it's a yes. It's a yes. Okay. Helpful language. Don't know. When you go to that place.
00:13:55
Speaker
If you could learn one foreign language, if you could learn one foreign language, every country has its own language.

00:19:20
Speaker
When you're hungry, you cry. When you're sleepy, you cry. When you're upset, you cry. Everything is about cry. So it's hard to understand. All you do is cry. If they're scared, they bark. If they are surprised, they bark.
00:19:44
Speaker
If they're they are galette they also bark like everything they do they bite that's their only way to communicate so I mean
00:20:00
