Cruisin’ 🛳️

In 36 hours you’ll be on your first boat ride. You get to experience the boat life like your ancestors 😂. Just kidding, this will be much funner I hope. Your grandma told me to be extra careful with you. She’s starting to sound like your grandpa.

You won’t have to read your own book for a few weeks. Make sure you make the most of your time with your East Coast family. I apologize in advance that I have to wake you up early tomorrow. WWW…

Temptation

There’s a scientific study they did on kids to see if they can be patient and resist temptation. Basically they put a treat in front of you, you can eat it or wait 10 minutes and they’ll double your treats.

It’s funny to see the kids try to resist, but they found those that do, have better future life outcomes. I know you’re young, but learning self control will help you out a lot in life. Remember that.

Sleep Positions

I hope we can all find comfortable sleep positions on the cruise, but I’m not sure where I fit in this particular configuration. I wonder how big the bed will be.

Don’t worry though. I will sacrifice my comfort for you and mom to sleep well. That’s what men do. Someday you have to learn the sad reality, that only women and children are loved unconditionally. Men are only loved under the condition they can provide. WWW.

Lines

Waiting in line to get food for everyone. Great time to blog. 

Thanks for being gentle on my face last night. Although I think your hands or either a little dirty or have oils on them. I’m experiencing pimples as a result. Not sure how much you enjoy touching my face, but might have to have you cut back. WWW…

Don’t Believe The Hype

Sometimes you can’t go off of what you you see online or hear. Today at the doctor to get work done for your Ba Noi, the machine for the line was broken, but everyone was civilized about getting numbers, being patient, and honest about who was in line.

It was nice to see that nothing crazy happened and it totally could have. Just a reminder that it doesn’t take extra to be a good person. ABG doesn’t just stand for Asian Baby Girls. It also means Always Be Good (unless someone takes advantage of you, then you might have to cut them off)…

New Plan

I might have devised a new plan to thwart your escape attempts. It’s not that we don’t want you to roam free around the house, but rather it can be dangerous and you may do bad stuff like throw things in the garbage that aren’t garbage.

Not sure if this just happened to work because you were distracted or if it might work for a while. I was able to fold all the laundry. 🙏 

Maximize Utility

That’s one of the rules of economics. We should all try to maximize the benefit. That’s what I think about sometimes when I go to pick you up from daycare. 

I feel bad if you have to spend more time at daycare, but I also feel bad if I don’t maximize the time I get away from you 😂. Not in a bad way, but more so just to have time to do other things. Anyhow, this is a really good tuna sandwich from Corti Bros. We can go when you can eat it. I just got some pho for you and mommy. I using this extra utility (time) to blog before I pick you up. It’s been a rough few days. If you have any sway with God, please pray for us all. 🙏
