I gotta tell ya, the Pipsqueak's demonstrating a progressively more advanced (and, maybe, progressively more twisted!) sense of humor on an almost daily basis. The latest comedy shtick went something like this:
(Early in the day)
Grandpa: We'll be picking you up at daycare in our car, is that okay?
Pipsqueak: Yeh!
Grandpa: Will you ride on the roof?
Pipsqueak: [short delay, big smile] No!
Grandpa: Will you ride in the trunk?
Pipsqueak: [bigger smile] No!
Grandpa: Where will you ride?
Pipsqueak: In my seat!
(Later that afternoon)
Grandma: Do you want to come to Grandma and Grandpa's house after daycare?
Pipsqueak: Yeh!
Grandma: Would you like to ride in Grandpa's car?
Pipsqueak: [BIG smile] I ride in trunk! [laughs]
I guess that if it doesn't work out for my niece to become a gymnast, a contortionist, a chef, a ballerina, a zookeeper, or a physicist... she can always get a job as a stand-up comic!
Thoughts & reflections by the proud uncle of a special young lady adopted from China.
Welcome!
My niece joined the family on July 12th, 2010. This special young lady's mother is my younger sister, which in classic Chinese culture makes me her Jiu Jiu (舅舅) -- thus the title of this blog. Here I intend to semi-regularly post reflections, thoughts, stories, and assorted whathaveyous pertaining to our trip to China, adoption in general, and (mostly) watching my niece grow up. Since the web is a very public place, I will attempt to maintain my family's privacy while telling the story... but I invite you to follow the blog and come along for the adventure!
