named according to their level of awesomeness,
they chose the english names: "Shine" and "Onion"-respectively.
Yes, they are exactly as amazing as they sound (and look).
So today they took me to lunch . . .
Grandma: "Uhma" and their 2 year old son: "John" joined in on the feast.
I would like to re-emphasize how much i love and respect Shine and Onion.
Lunch:
So we sit down at the table . . .
onion places the order
we're having a nice conversation
and then i look over and
BOOM
John's pants are down to the ankles and granny's checkin out the diaper.
Sure enough, looks like he's got some pee in there . . .
Oops a little pee got on her hand . . .
ya know, we've come this far, might as well COMMIT.
Uhma changes John on the seat at the table.
I mean i'm no parent . . . but. . . . .
I'm not sure if I was observing :
a "korean moment"
a "grandma moment"
or a "that's just what YOU DO when your kid has a wet diaper, DUH JAIME, moment"
For me it was one of those:
peripheral "whh . . . WhoA . . . OHhh . . . " moments
act natural. . .
don't look . . .
don't look. . .
DAMNIT JAIME, DON'T LOOK ! !
should i keep talking ?
should i act like i didn't just see a baby weenier 2 feet from my fork ?
after the poor kid had zero secrets left,
lunch moved onward, with less Pee and more IZZA.
Onion told stories about studying abroad in London
and how she traveled in Europe alone while a University student.
She speaks English, Korean, and Japanese ! !
A loved teacher, mother, wife, daughter, friend, boss AND vegetable!
It's obvious she's special --
and it was confirmed,
when she ate the last piece of pizza folded horizontally
like corn on the cob.
For the visual learners in the crowd :
Normal ^ How Onion does things ^
certainly made me smile.
:)
Haha, absolutely wonderful. "Baby weiner two feet from my fork."
