Ch-ching

Uh-oh, Jae Cheol's mother thinks we're rich. I knew the whole family thought so when we came back from Canada. After all, we had just traveled a lot and Jae Cheol had spent the year studying instead of working. Jae Cheol's mom though, the other day when he was talking about renting an apartment here eventually, said something like, "That's going to be quite expensive, maybe Melanie has a secret stash of cash somewhere!"

Oh shit.

I've asked him to explain the concept of our budgeting to her. He probably won't. I don't like this misconception, it could be dangerous and it makes me uncomfortable.

In other news, I am more and more in love with my nephew every time I see him. He calls me "Meyani", he says "no" in English and he can use the internet unaided! He's two and a half!
