Mama Kim fell asleep as Papa Kim and I were watching television. Apparently I talked “too loudly” so Mama Kim, half sleeping declares,
“Never wake a sleeping lion. I am the lion king.”
Mama Kim, everyone. A round of applause, please.
Junior Kim: I’ll bring you back some sushi.
Me: Okay!
Mama Kim: SUSHI?! Unnie (that’s me) is getting sushi? Can’t we just split a pizza?
Junior Kim: Just let me know what you want in about an hour.
Mama Kim: In an hour?!?! She wants me to choose between pizza and sushi?! Impossible decision. This gives me a headache.
Sushi vs. Pizza.

My goal for the year is to read 12. If I can read all of these, well then that’s just fantastic. I may have to go to the library…Do people even go to libraries anymore? I love having my own copy of a book though.
Inaccuracies.
Of any kind.
Example: Papa K. just told one of his long lost cousins that my sister and I get updates about them on Facebook. NO WE DON’T. I don’t even know this cousin he was talking too! Now I’m just going to sound like a long-lost-relative-stalker!
Always.
