The Lecture
Just a short post about the awesome "lecture" I heard the other day while swimming.
Dad: If you want to be a champion swimmer you must swim harder, you must swim faster, you must swim better.
Girl (about 7): okay
Dad: You must get it into your head that you want to be a champion. Otherwise you will always lose. Do you want to lose?
Girl: No...
Dad: Then go home and write on a piece of paper how you will do better. And stop swimming like a loser.
Girl: okay
Poor Asian kids. All their parents want them to be amazing at everything they do.
* I realize this is a gross generalization and that I am only furthering the stereotype. Shame on me.

I really enjoyed your asian comment. Although it is a terrible stereo type- it is generally true.

Nice cover up. We all know "Dad" is you and "Asian Girl-age 7" is a alias for Annie. You really shouldn't keep messing with her.
I gave myself this lecture tonight and it hurts a little bit. That poor poor little Asian girl.
Okay, Alisse, I don't even know you much, but that comment was hilarious.
Emily, START A BLOG! I know about Julia's digital camera, so there's NO EXCUSE! (Sorry to sound angry, and sorry to hijack your blog Laura.)
Tina, must we only correspond through blogs now? I called you like fifty times and you didn't answer.
p.s. Don't give the kittens milk. It gives them mad diarrhea. Thanks for that one.
