Reincarnated as a Deadbeat Dad RDD 105

RDD 105

"Hm, I think soone just call my na?"

I was confused for a second and looked at the side mirror and back mirror, I saw nothing.

"Dad, maybe you are just tired. You always wake up early."

The usual setup in our car was Roman would seat on my lap while Penelope would take care of Sophia.

So right now, Roman was looking at the front while sitting on my lap.

"... Roman, are you worried about ?" I was shocked by what I heard.

"Of course I'm worried about you. What will happen to us if you beco sick? We will not have food to eat once that happens."

"I guess so." I chuckled and rubbed his hair. He clicked his tongue in annoyance but he let pet him.

"Besides... I will be sad if you beca sick." He grumbled weakly. I didn't hear what he said.

"Did you say sothing?"

"Nothing, just stop rubbing my hair. Look at the road. We are going to et Uncle in a waiting place."

"You are right."

I focused my attention on the road and drove safely. Penelope just giggled watching us father and son.

Santiago wanted to go around the market so we decided to et him at the television shop. He said that he wanted to buy gifts for the children and surprise them.

I actually told him that he didn't need to but Santiago was adamant. Anyway, we let him roam in the market to move around.

We still didn't buy a secondhand television and we were waiting for Santiago's opinion. He was the one who was going to use it most of the ti anyway. Oh, the television shop sells cellphones too so Santiago was going to buy there as well.

"We are here."

"I can see Uncle too."

I parked the car in front of the television shop.

"Brother-in-law, look what I found!"

Santiago excitedly showed sothing to us... It was a chicken toy. A moving chicken toy. Aesthetic-wise, it looked frightening because the chicken looked real.

"... Santiago, how much did you buy this?"

"120 pesos each."

"Each?"

"Yeah, I bought one for Roman and Sophia."

He grinned and showed the toys in front of the kids. Roman was unnerved, but Sophia was clearly frowning.

"... It looks scawy," she said.

But because the kids were sensible, they thanked Santiago for the toys.

"Now, let's go to the store."

Every one of us entered the television shop and we were srized by what we saw... Endless television! Almost as if we were in the cinema.

Big television. Small television. Working vintage(Black and White) television. Brand New Television. Flat Screen Television. Ultra ga White Television!

Different kinds of televisions were displayed all over the place! Furthermore, the televisions were showing movies and stuff.

Being kids, Sophia and Roman were imdiately attracted by the Flat Screen Television that was showing their favorite children's show, The Teletubbies...

If you are going to ask , I didn't like the Teletubbies at all. I found them creepy. I prefer Barney & Friends Sesa Street, and Blue's Clues.

"Blue's Clues might be the goat."

I'm talking about the old Blue's Clues, not the 2020s version. Two decades later, children's shows would be infected by the Woke Movent. I was so disappointed. I feel like people were just trying to out-woke each other.

"Dajjy! I want this!"

Naturally, the kids would prefer the flat screen because it was showing their favorite show.

"Sophia, we have to look around first."

Penelope approached the flat-screen television and found the price. Her lips twitched and approached .

"... It's 10 thousand pesos."

"You got to be kidding ?"

I was dumbfounded and looked at the price tag... Penelope was not lying.

"Ahem. Kids, let's go find another one. Don't worry, we will go to the Blockbuster to buy so children's movies."

For so reason, Blockbuster had a good influence in the Philippines. In the other universe, movie piracy was very prominent.

"Okay!"

The kids imdiately agreed.

"Brother-in-law, how about this? It only costs 1,500 pesos. And it's also had these shimring lights!"

Even Santiago joined the fun and pointed at the television.

I saw what he was talking about and I realized that Santiago might have a unique aesthetic sense.

The television he was talking about was a small black-and-white tv. Around 7 inches wide and long. It was very small. Furthermore, there were red s d blue blinkers around it... As if it was a fucking toy.

Not recomnd it at all. My eyes are going to hurt watching a small screen.

"Light is blinking!'

"Wow! Uncle you have a nice taste! Dajjy, I want this!"

"... How about we look for more. Maybe we can find a television that everyone liked."

Penelope suggested. I was happy that my wife was with to control the crowd.

"Okay!"

"This!"

"Wow! I want this!"

"This one is showing Power Rangers. I like this."

The kids kept saying what they wanted.

"Santiago, I will help you buy a phone first," I recomnded to escape the kids' relentless finger-pointing.

Santiago nodded.

I took him to the salesperson. The salesperson was happy when he realized that soone wanted to buy a phone.

The average price of a branded phone was around 600 dollars to 1 thousand dollars. Yes, it was expensive.

600 dollars converted to pesos was around 30,000 pesos... I hope they had a cheaper one. Well, it all depends on Santiago's decision.

"This, I think I want this!"

Santiago pointed at a phone... Was this even a phone?

The phone had a design of a frog. Almost a real green frog.

I was dumbfounded when I saw Santiago's expression. He was clearly excited and happy.

The phone he wanted was ugly! I didn't even want to touch it!

"Oh, this? Congratulations sir. This is Pokia 123. It costs 79,000 pesos."

No fucking way. The brand na was suspicious as fuck.

The quality of this phone was probably bad.
