Cravings
We made a trip to the mall yesterday because my wife was craving for some Mcdonald’s food (twister fries to be precise). When we got to the McDonalds in SM Davao, to our chagrin the place was jam packed. So I decided to have it prepared as takeout food then consume it at the food court on the second floor.
When we got there the couple beside us was eating some sizzling steaks. So my wife started having cravings for the said steak. Of course why she must insist that I eat the same thing that she craves for or else she won’t eat it is beyond me. So I ordered the said steaks and proceeded to gourge on them along with my wife… I tell you the trip home was a struggle in staying awake for me…
There is this belief for us Filipinos that you musn’t deny a pregnant woman what she craves for (I think the correct term is “lihi” in Filipino) or else she will miscarriage. There might not be any scientific basis for this one but it’s better to give in to their requests or else suffer the ire of their infallible crankiness… *snicker*… so in the end it becomes a cause for self preservation for the husbands… *snicker*
