Quit your whining!

When we were in Canada, my dad taught Jae Cheol a very valuable phrase which he has since repeated to me over a thousand times. That very useful and helpful phrase is, "Don't be a wussy."


Yes, that's right, "Don't be a wussy." I silently thank my father every time I hear it from my husband's mouth. (That is, if you can call rolling your eyes a thank you.) Well, no more! I'm finally, for the first time in my life, going to take their very helpful advice and stop being a wussy. That's right, no more whining! Why this sudden about face, you ask? Well, I don't know if it's the weather, (I prefer fall to the painful humidity of summer,) or if I'm finally going insane. But hey, I'm just going to (try to) suck it up and be more positive. My life really is pretty good. It's not perfect, but hey for goodness sake, I feel priviledged to be happy, healthy, loved, in love, working, clothed and fed. I'm one of the luckiest girls on the planet if you ask me.


I'm even going to stop giving the people the finger while driving! A lofty goal, indeed.



Look at this little boy, he's cute right? Well, it turns out that he's also rather sneaky.

Recently, when his grandfather, (my father-in-law) was visiting and went out into the hall to have a cigarette. While he was out there, Dong Jun went to the door, closed it and locked it! That's right! Take that, grandfather! This is my house and I want you out! Hilarious.

Uh oh, I didn't even notice that. Hmmm, well he didn't learn it from me, at least, not on purpose.
