Mommy mommy

I received e-mail this morning from my mother’s ESL teacher, Roseanna, in L.A. She thanked me for my e-mail that expressed my appreciation for the party she threw for my mother a couple of days ago.

It was my mother’s birthday a few days ago. When she called me, she was very excited to talk about the birthday party.

“My teacher brought a hu~~ge cake for me and had it shared with all classmates.You know how big it was? I could bring the leftover, a piece of it after sharing it with all my classmates. And the teacher asked my classmates to give me good wishes in their own languages!”

I said,“Good! It’s very nice of her”

Then she talked about the main reason for calling me. “I brought her e-mail address, so you will thank her on behalf of me” I thought, “oh, my, again!” It was not the first time for me to write a thank note to her ESL teacher that I had never met. I did it last year sometime to another teacher, too.

Sometimes, she is like a cute spoiled child.
When she has good music, she makes my sister call me and turn on the music loudly so that I could hear it at the same time I talk. Interestingly, most of her favorite music is not Korean popular songs but French chansons from the 70s or Italian Canzonets. Last time I was talking to my sister, my mother was turning up and up until my sister couldn’t hear my voice. Eventually, it made my sister get tired of it, “Enough enough, that’s enough please!” I laughed double when I heard my sister’s complaints.
