On not projecting one's childhood onto one's children

[0nce]

I'm a little concerned about tomorrow, with regard to my sister's camp: they're having their "wear something from your favorite sports team" day. She's going to wear a blue and white dress, I specifically instructed her to say that she likes all the teams if anyone asks, my mom told her to say that she likes ice skating as her favorite sport;

You made me miss my sister :)

Also, I want a blue and white dress.

How are you, Mariya?

I called my sister right after I read this and told her that I missed her. She told me that my parents had just bought an ottomon covered in cowskin and that, if you focus on looking at just the center of it, you can imagine it being an entire cow in the living room.

In short, I miss her terribly. (Even though she's in Beijing and I'm here in Hong Kong, Chinese visa laws keep us apart.)

How's everything?

Evrything is relatively intact, thank you for asking. How long will you be in Hong Kong?

I'm in a weird mood but totally fine. Remind me -- is your sister going into... 1st grade now? When was the last time you saw her?
