At my mother's naturalization exam today, the adjudicator dictated sentence for her to write. Her sentence, he said, was "I have two wonderful children," to which she replied, "they're just ok."
I love you too, mom.
That's one more American citizens in our household now (pending ceremony in August). Three down, one more to go. Count it again and we're all 100% Taiwanese, which is pretty awesome.
Is it wrong to still be amused by words like annal, which isn't even pronounced anything like an anatomical term? Because every time I pass the magazine racks at work and see the Annals of Epidemiology and Annals of Medicine, I can't help but giggle. Also couldn't stop smiling at the sight of a doctor's neon green, fitted, short sleeved shirt today. It looked like a cross between a bike jersey and something he'd wear to a sleazy club, though I don't think either one was the look he was going for. It looked so inappropriate and silly on him that it completely made my day. I cracked a smile every time I passed his office.
