“Which twin is older?” The question is absurd. In China, I get it all the time. And it works me up. “They are twins. They are the same age.” I reply, irritated. “Yes, but they didn’t both come out at the same time, did they? One had to have been born first.” They insist, “Is … Continue reading “Afu ge ge”, “Leila mei mei”

My random thoughts and stories.
“Oh, Mum! I have so much FAT on my legs!”
"I answered her questions about why some people have too much fat in their bodies to be healthy, but how no one can actually be “fat”. Fat is something that we have, not something that we are." Read the full guest post at Momma Be They Name by Desi, from Valentine 4: Living Each Day.
A Walk down a Montreal Memory Lane
(I started this about a month ago, immediately after the walk; and worked on it again over the last few days.) The sun rose a few hours after we arrived in Montreal.

“Look at her…”
After thirteen hours on a plane that left Vancouver at 3am, we get to the transfer security when a mum turns to her crying daughter, around two years old, "Look at her," she points at L. "She's not crying. Why do you have to cry?" A couple of days ago at the Chinook mall in … Continue reading “Look at her…”

How Our Parents Did It: Parenting, I Mean.
I often wonder how to do it "right"? Parenting, I mean. Do I really need to follow one of the many methods out there, and then diss the rest? Certainly there is value in the research, but how do you choose which? My parents followed no system except an instinctive, sincere one. True to them. … Continue reading How Our Parents Did It: Parenting, I Mean.
