Back to Normal

My parents are back in Ohio and our life is back to normal. Simple. It’s not that my parents are difficult people. But when they get together, it’s like that scene in Fantastic Mr. Fox, when Mr. Fox has a meeting with the Badger and things get heated FAST. Spontaneous combustion at any given moment since my father is deaf, my mother easily irritated and they’ve been married for 39 years. 

Some things get lost in translation between Vietnamese and English but one thing my parents said made me laugh. They couldn’t get over how smooth the babies’ skin were. They said it was smooth like a boiled egg. Ha! So true.
