Why?
Yes you all know - the inevitable.
Once children learn to say and use "Why" they will.
I have learned to use "Why?"
And I am very good at using it. Mommy and Auntie Gloria don't know how to answer anymore.
Last weekend Mommy turned on what I call "wind" (air conditioning) at naptime. Then at bedtime she did not turn it on.
So I asked "Why?"
Because it is night time Mommy replied.
So I asked "Why?"
Because it was warmer at naptime and now is cooler Mommy said.
So I asked "Why?"
Because the sun went down. Finally a satifactory answer.
Since Mommy doesn't know how to answer sometimes, she's starting to ask me Why? and I always have something to say. Then she says Why? again, and I respond again. Yes, I always have an answer and response for everything... must come from being Daddy's boy.
During the week I have also been asking Auntie Gloria, "Why?"
Auntie Gloria ran out of reasons as well and now has a good reply...
"That's Why."
Mommy talking with her co-worker Ellen, she says... "Why not?"
Mommy hasn't said it yet... I wonder what my response shall be?

Star of the week! (again!)
I am Star of the week!!! for being very helpful in class. Mommy and Daddy are pleasantly surprised, as they think my teacher has trouble keeping me engaged so never thought she would consider me a Star... but she did!
This is my second one, my first one was last semester for settling down in Manderin class - which is obvious since I never really spoke Manderin before. Anyway, this time it's the "International" section, so I go up on stage!
Actually - there might have been an assembly for the "Main" section, but Mommy and Daddy can't really read Chinese.
Mommy, Gong Gong and Auntie Gloria all come to my assembly hall!
I was so happy to have them be there with me!

Gong Gong's having fun
Gong Gong has not been back to Hong Kong some 40+ years.
He's called one or 2 schoolmates, and gotten a list of many more now has contacted almost all of them.
Almost every other day, Gong Gong goes sightseeing and dim sum with different friends.
Mommy says it's like having a teenager in the house. Gong Gong goes out with friends everyweekend, is on the phone late at night almost everynight, sleeps late, receives calls late at night, says for us to not wait up for him or save dinner when he goes out and never calls home when late.
It's 10pm... do you know where your parent/grandparent is?
Mommy calls Gong Gong when it is after 10pm to find out where he is, and the answer is always I'm on the way home. One time Mommy told Gong Gong to leave name and phone number of the friend he was visiting... I guess that is what I have to look foward to.
