Bad Guys be Flyin’


The other night we were driving on the freeway and Hawaiian Gardens Casino had one of those giant spotlight-things spinning beams of light up in the clouds.  Big Mochi looked out the window and said, “Mommy, are they looking for bad guys in the sky?”

Special Agent Mochi

Big Mochi: I think I might make a good spy when I grow up.
Me: You want to be a spy?
Big Mochi: I’d make a good one. I’m asian.
Me: What does being asian have to do with anything?
Big Mochi (sighing at me): Hello? Secret Asians are spies!

Riiiight.

So literal…

I’m reading my kindle on the couch minding my own business. Baby Mochi runs over and slams her Barbie laptop over my kindle and says, “Hmmph!” Translation: My fingers are in my mouth so I can’t talk but I want you to open this so I can play with it. I kindly remove her fingers out of her mouth and say, “Hi! Would you like me to open this for you?” I get a vigorous head nod. So I say, “Well say so!”

“So.”
