At 4, he had problems with his fine motor skills so he was very slow when he started writing in school. His teacher reported the following scenes:
Joey: Teacher, si Gil Joshua po nangongopya!
Teacher: Naku Joey, ano ang kokopyahin sa `yo eh wala pang laman ang papel mo.
Joey: Teacher, ang sakit na ng kamay ko.
Teacher: Joey, di ka pa nagsisimulang magsulat, masakit na kamay mo?
Joey: Teacher, pwede bang ikaw na lang ang magsulat? Ako na lang ang magsasabi sa `yo. O sige, Teacher, isulat mo: bu - ko.
Teacher: Naku Joey!
When he was in K5, he discovered something wrong with his answer on certain questions (while studying) but could not figure out why. He would say; "Ma, bakit ganito, baka nagkamali sila (the authors)?"
Once her mom was teaching him to differentiate between loud and soft music, the following dialog ensued:
Mom: Is the music playing over the radio soft or loud?
Joey: Soft, parang pillow.
We bought Nini a book of Filipino riddles which they enjoyed very much. What they would often do with their cousins is to take turns selecting and reading a riddle at random and asking the rest for the answer. Of course Joey got into the fray and posed a riddle of his own making.
"Bugtong, bugtong. Si Pedro nagtago sa bakal labas ang mata." And the answer is... "Multo"! Why? That still remains a mystery!
