Happy birthday! We are 6 years old today and celebrated by giving everyone free ice cream. We were actually decently packed today, but the real event was 2 different staff members making public that they are pregnant today. I hope neither of them leaves too soon ...
One of my bosses (Julie) invited Mona and me to her house for dinner tonight and Peiming -- her husband and another one of the Schoolhouse partners -- made us an amazing dinner. The whole middle of their table is a metal sheet that he cooked on. We had everything from bok choy to lobster to filet mignon to fried rice to scallops to salmon. It was a serious feast. After dinner Julie showed us around her house and then we played bananagrams, which I have to say is so much better than scrabble.
Why we were playing she started telling us about a Chinese tradition where after a woman gives birth she doesn't touch water for a whole month. This includes bathing, teeth brushing, etc. Apparently this isn't something just a few people do either. It's quite common. I'm trying not to judge, but really???? really?!?!?! I need to read more about this D...
