Koreans are very blunt and speak their minds. Not to mention they get in your business. When the weather was a slight cooler than usual or a little windy and my children didn’t have a long sleeve shirt, long pants, socks and a jacket, I would hear from every past and present mothers, “Aren’t they cold?” I don’t know what is up with them and covering their kids from head to toe!
There are good things though about it for Adalie heard from countless people how pretty she was and how she had the prettiest eyes because her double eyelids are so prominent for they LOVE the double eye lids.
But After hearing from every single person and I mean EVERY SINGLE person whether it was a complete stranger I met at a grocery store, bus stop, pharmacy, salon, my parents’ friends, relatives, church frends, WHOMEVER these following things;
“Oh my gosh a BABY had a BABY!”
“WHAT? You’re married? WHAT? You just gave birth 2 months ago? WHAT? She’s not your first? WHAT? You have TWO KIDS??? I thought you were in High School!”
I think I’m ready to come home. Oh wait…everyone still thinks the same in the US! Crap!
And this has nothing to do with anything but I went to a salon a few days ago to get a hair cut, a hair dye and a magic straight perm. This magic straight perm really is magic. No more blow drying my hair and styling, it dries by itself perfectly straight without any fuzz. I’m so excited because I hate spending too much time on getting ready and now this will cut back on about 60% of ready time! And all for $50 bucks! This was my first time to a salon since my wedding day. Man isn’t Jay SO lucky to have such a low maintenance wife? 😀
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go pack because I’m leaving tomorrow morning to go back home!!! I’m SOOOOOOO excited!!! Please pray for me that I’ll have a good, quiet flight back home because I sure will be praying for it.
