I just remembered that. I can't even remember if I finally gave it to you. I'm glad you learned to knit! I remember you talking about it a while back.

The stepmother kills the fish, and then the bones of that same fish grants her wishes and magically provides her with food and a beautiful dress. The prince falls in love with her, yada yada.
So yeah, not like you went and fell in love with a prince, but at least those bones tasted good in the sauce, even after all of the meat was gone. That's sort of the same thing, right? :)

Not that I was ignored/harassed like Cloe and Steven. I think being out on public transportation and in the city was good for me and its sad that my friends' kids are so strictly instructed not to talk to people they don't know, and really don't spend that much time out in the world anyway.

Your Lao Di Fun story makes me so nostalgic for Seattle! My North City neighborhood was full of strip malls with all Chinese and Korean places and it was fun to try them all out, often communicating with the staff by mostly by pointing to menu items and using the smile/nod/thumbs-up to show how much I liked the food.
