Mama forgot to mention that I’m starting to develop a little bit of an attitude. When I get mad, I furrow my brows and look at the person I’m mad at very intently and with purpose. The other day I opened my drawer of shoes and saw that there was some extraneous stuff in the drawer. Along with my shoes were some of Mama’s purchases that she was aiming to return to stores. I immediately turned to Mama, gave her the look and said sternly, “谁放在这儿？是你吗?” (“Who put this stuff here? Was it you?”). Oh, my gosh, Mama thought it was so funny and endearing that she had to try hard not to giggle at me and scoop me up in a big hug. That wasn’t the intended reaction. I need to work on that stern look and sound!
