OK Girl

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.
