No.25 of 50 – I think Dad felt guilty for losing the hamster, so he drove us to the farm and before we knew it, we were shoving two goats into the back of the car. Apparently they were going to be our new pets/lawnmower.
No. 24 of 50 – For some reason Dad decided to take my sister’s hamster for a walk in the garden. He seemed surprised when it ran off into the undergrowth and disappeared forever.
No. 22 of 50 – It got on my nerves when I got asked about Chinese New Year ’cause my source of information came from the same place as everybody else’s!
No. 20 of 50 – I used to think that bullies were morons, then I learned that they actually hate themselves more than the people they’re bullying, and that’s really sad.
No. 18 of 50 – Smiffy, my brother’s mate, had bright ginger hair and a ton of freckles. I don’t know if the word for freckles exists in Chinese, but Mum used to say Smiffy’s face was covered in ‘woo yin see’, which translated means ‘fly sh*t’. Mum was never one for tact.
