the kim family girls choir

so after a year or so of hounding to sing for them, the kids have learned (most of) the words to 'hey jude'. the other day at superstore L spontaneously screamed out 'hey jew!!!' which drew the attention of other shoppers. which prompted me to break out into a chorus of 'don't be afraid~ you were meant to go out and get her~~~~' loud enough for the closer shoppers to hear but quiet enough that people aren't called to take L away from me. so there we were, roaming superstore with a full cart singing hey jude for 40 minutes or so.

Office Christmas Party

Deloitte put on a first-class kids Christmas Party. They booked a hall and hired an entertainment group to dress up as the characters from "Alice in Wonderland." M was amazed at first - "you work HERE? AWESOME!!"

I lost Leah as I was waiting in line at the buffet, and had to run across the hall to find her. I finally found her at the "bar" - a milk and juice bar hosted by the friendly rabbit:

L: I want ka ka (korean word for candy).
Rabbit: (holding up two pitchers) Apple juice? Chocolate milk?
L: No! ka ka.
Rabbit: I'm sorry, I can't understand you.

I watched in amusement for a little longer before I rescued the poor rabbit bartender.
