Phone call

[asterroc]

The other day my mother called me from the nursing home where my Nga Boo (grandma) is staying these days. After chatting with Nga Boo for around ten seconds, including wishing her an early Gun Shi Fah Zeh (Happy Chinese New Year's, Sun Jan 29), I then talked with Mom for a while. Apparently Dad suggested that this year, for their 40th anniversary, they renew their vows. It surprised me that Mom'd go along with this in the first place, as she's not all that romantic, and while Dad is, she doesn't understand what he views as romantic. I said something like, "oh, huh!"

She went on to say, "Dad's been looking at the world in a new way since he got injured. He was thinking since we've never been to Vegas, we should do it there, and I agreed."

"That's neat! I'd love to --"

"And he wants us to get an Elvis impersonator."
