meet the parents
Last Saturday it was arranged that HY's uncle and aunt were to have dinner with my folks. The meal took place at a Sichuan restaurant called Ji-Yuan--food was very decent especially their greasy onion pancakes, spicy noodles and fish. Adults did most of the talking and I think it was a pretty pleasant first meeting. One thing about being an adult is that they like to talk about children. While HY was referred to as a reliable and hardworking young man, a lovely, easy caring baby, I was mentioned as the crankiest baby that cried 24/7. Then HY's uncle said that baby HY was taken care by a Mrs. Doubtfire, and that he had no nose as a little kid--this, I thought was the highlight of the evening.
