Childhood Game: May Butas Ang Puwet Mo!

*Note: If Filipino words are used, they are translated below

My cousins and I were in a car being driven by Tito Ariel from Batangas to Manila. I don’t know what inspired us crazy kids to do it, but we started opening our window and yelling at passersby, May butas ang puwet mo!

We pranked a lot of people throughout our trip because Tito slowed down the car whenever there was a potential victim nearby. People would look at their behinds and try to find a tear in their shorts, but of course there was none. We weren’t lying to them either because all of them had holes in their butts. In fact, people are biologically predisposed to have holes in their butts. Yes, it’s called the anus.

Notes:

[1] Tito = uncle

[2] May butas ang puwet mo = your butt has a hole
