Work Hard, Play Hard

A welcome little word 

"You deserve to have a good time after a hard day's work," read K-bao from the message she extracted from her fortune cookie, while clambering into her car seat on the way home after dinner.

"That's right," opined K-Mum with satisfaction. "Work hard, play hard!"

Thinking a little further, K-bao couldn't help but reflect out loud, "Well, I didn't really work today though."

"You're right," interjected K-Pop from the front seat, "You played all day!"

"Oh man, I wish I hadn't said that!" burst out K-bao reflexively. "I bet Daddy's going to make me do work now when we go home."

K-Mum: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"

That's right, I "worked" all day

Straw Wars

"Draw thy straw, sister!"

While hanging out in the Outer Sunset last weekend waiting for K-Mum, who was attending a friend's baby shower, K-bao lunched with K-Pop and her sister at a local Chinese joint on Noriega Street, and then stopped by Bubble for afternoon tea and dessert.

Spotting the wide angle straws commonly used in such locales to enable suction of tapioca balls, K-bao naturally wasted no time in challenging her sister to a public straw-saber joust.

"On guard, little one!"

While it has always been somewhat ironic that K-bao and her sister are grandchildren of a career diplomat, who in his retirement has taught such university courses as International Etiquette (emphasizing the proper behaviors one might demonstrate in public settings such as restaurants), recently K-bao has really been taking said irony to a new level.
