Differential Treatments


Maine Summer 2011, originally uploaded by szachko.
Hubby was on business trip and I needed to drop off girls at summer camp by myself. Abby looked worried and asked:

A: Mom, who is going to drop us off at camp?
Me: I will.
A: Are we going to walk to the camp?
Me: No. I will drive..

Abby pulsed a second and turned to Zoe saying:

A: Zoe, you have to keep quiet. Mommy is driving today.
Z: ......
Me: .......

Sincere Advice


Reunion, originally uploaded by szachko.
EK was Abby's 1st grade classmate. He is very nice and gentle. After 1st grade, he moved back to France with his parents. We missed the whole family a lot. The whole family came to visit US in summer and we are lucky enough to have chance to spend time with them.

During the chatting, EK gave me a sincere advice:
"Never put your wife's name o Tattoo. What if you get divorce, then you are stuck...."

I looked at him speechlessly and then smiled back and thanked him for this sincere advice...
