Start While You’re Young, Kid
Last night I had a wonderful Thai dinner with A. from work, who is a smart, funny, interesting woman and one of the best things about my job — when I actually get to be there. When I first met A. I was struck by her incredibly good posture while sitting (Ramrod straight! All the time!) and her apparently unflappable poise and air of professional calm. I wondered if I’d ever get to know her, ever break through that clear, intelligent gaze. I was pretty sure she’d be a cool cat once I figured her out, but was it ever going to happen? Were we ever going to be friends?
Yup. We were. And so, in honor of her back, I say yo, Asher? Hey, Asher! I know you understand every word your Ah Yee says: Sit up straight if you’re gonna be at a computer, boy. When you are older it will make you look really impressive.
I cannot get over how grown up he is.
P.S. My mother is going on a trip to Hongkong with two of her sisters on Monday! They’ve never done this before! I am so proud. I hope they have a blast and take a million silly photographs. Hmmm. Maybe I should try to Fed-Ex them some paper crowns before they leave?

Yes DO send them the crowns! On second thoughts, I’ll get them :) Hee! I loved that sarah sent them to you and Ross cos you guys looked so happy in that picture. Asher’s been calling for you and ross, cos he can now independently identify you guys in a crowd!! I mean from the pictures of course.

Aw. We are so going to have to wear our wedding clothes the next time we see him so he’ll know who we are. Or does it work with other pictures too?

That’s a good qn! I’ll have to try it out with him and let you know. PS: You are his Ah Yee and not Ee Ma. I read your post to him and he was all confused :) hee.
