a conversation i overheard
(between my two nephews, Nicholas, 4, and Solomon, 6)
discussion of superheroes while watching Spiderman, the movie
Solomon: i wanna be Spiderman!
Nicholas: i wanna be Sandman!
Solomon: no! the Venom's better!
Nicholas: i wanna be Bon Jovi!
Lizzie : -mouth drops open-
-
anyway.
CHINESE NEW YEAR IS A MOTHERING WASTE OF TIME.
because
a) you see relatives you would otherwise never see at all.
2) you don't have anything to do in your grandpa's house except flick between Discovery Channel and National Geographic (okay, it IS interesting. sometimes.)
x) uncles tell you how much you've grown and aunts ask when you're getting married.
y) people gamble too much.
oh but there ARE some good bits.
like getting new clothes. and seeing people you would otherwise not know existed like-HAHAHA.
and, um, not much else, actually.
next time, i will wear my PJs for Chinese New Year (!).
asdfghjkl;-WOT
my mother will bust an artery if i do.
