Chic...Cute...and Chinese


Good Education
Post by:admin

On my way home from picking up my almost 4 year old son, we saw one of his teachers at the bus stop waiting for the bus. Like many curious little ones, he asked why his teacher has to wait for the bus at the bus stop and didn’t drive a car home.  Being Chinese and practical, I figure it was a good opportunity to educate my little one that not everyone can afford a car, that is why going to school and studying hard (yes, I know, I’m being like my own parents and very Chinese) is a foundation for a comfortable living/life style, etc etc. His comment was “I don’t need to make money to buy a car, Ye Ye (grandpa in Chinese) will give me his mini super coupe when I’m old enough to drive. So much for a life lesson! I guess you can’t fault me for at least trying!

LOL, something similar happen to me….i told my 4 yrs old to study hard and one day he can buy a nice house w/ big yards & white picket fence (the American Dream.) but he replied, I rather live in a condo like grandma, with door man, elevator and in-door garage. Kids often teach me to see thing in different light.
