Their bewilderment soon turns into understanding when I explain that my parents were refugees from Vietnam, and Vietnamese was the only language spoken in our household.

Mother Flippin’:One Funny Mother…Baby Girl

I have mentioned before that my step-father calls me “Baby Girl” and I am still comfortable climbing into bed between my parents. I delight in being claimed as someone’s baby and I was happy to welcome a new baby into our home.
me2u – 9-19 – Plate
By Melik
I have never been to prison. I have never spent a long stint in jail. I have never been in a position where I was starving. I have had times in my life when my cabinets were almost bare but have always managed to get at least a couple of meager meals in a day. So I can’t tell you where protecting my food comes from. I do not like to share. Maybe it is a germ factor. I do not like it when others put their DNA filled fork on to my plate. I figure if I am not in a kissing relationship with you I do not want to use food as a cootie sharing medium.
