Prior accord—two weeks of practice in 5th grade—rejected unexpectedly and unilaterally; new proposal requires immediate implementation; Daddy balks
Honestly, her very understandable and natural wish to walk to school on her own, against the backdrop of everything we are doing in the world right now, is a little too much to handle. I want this for her, but I want it for every little girl on the planet. It’s just hard to separate those things, and it feels so tenuous. Maybe in fifth grade all of this will be easier.
Meanwhile, “Hannah Tries Meat Popsicle” lower on the page
Kina and Laurea enjoy a meat pie date for dinner as Hannah is fooled by a well-camouflaged strawberry cream pop masquerading as a hunk of steak. I’m on the plane! See you tomorrow!
Daddy checks 3 for cute as “Kimchi Rice” takes Koreatown in Magical Kitties
Kina and I are taking this campaign very seriously. She has a magical kimchi backpack and and a surly alley cat friend. Her special talent is “being small”. It’s a blast. Watch out for traffic!
Just as everything finished melting and Daddy needed to fly, weather calls for sledding
It was so perfect yesterday, so beautiful and dry and sunny, except for the hour I spent parking in Flushing (again) and the inevitable cancellation of my cross-country flight. Kina had a blast and unleashed her finest.
According to Kina, “6-7” and other memes no longer mean anything
To be honest, my understanding was that “6-7” never meant anything to begin with? Now there are new words that mean somethingly nothing? This is all so confusing.
Newly-relocated elders offer hongbao to chipper publisher and her cousin as family shares dim sum and strawberry shortcake; later, ghosts visit
One of the many good things about having my parents so close is that we can pop down to their house and share Lunar New Year with the family. We haven’t been able to do that for many years. The smizing ghosts were a nice addition tho.
