Go Go Power Rangers!
Why are the Power Rangers still popular? I don’t get it. But the little kids understand…
Ground control to Major Kyle
Last year, when my son was 4 years old, he said he wanted to become an astronaut when he grew up. I was almost dancing with joy when he said that, because, well… he wanted to become an ASTRONAUT!
The Chess League
My son joined his school’s chess club a couple weeks ago. I had been hording this Justice League chess set for just this moment. He loved it! 🙂
Walking on sunshine

Accents redux
I was embarrassed, and I wanted to tell her that I have spent almost all of my life in the United States, and that I have been fighting an uphill battle to retain my Korean language skills.

This time, I set one banana aside and covered it with tattoos from the film “Cars.” And, as you can see, there’s also a tattoo of sharks. Because … sharks and cars pretty much sum up my little guy’s interests right now.
