Yellow Anutie...

One thing I have always loved about my wife is that she never sees things the same way that others do. Some people think inside the box. Others think outside the box. But Anna is special. She thinks through the box. Some would say that she marches to the beat of her own drummer. Truly, she marches to a different beat from a whole different band. Don't bother trying to comprehend it. She just does.

Often, that is a blessing, but every once in a while that and the language barrier can be the cause of confusion or even contention. For example, not long ago my niece saw Anna online through a chat program. She wanted to say hi to her, so she casually typed, "yello auntie". Anna looked at that for a minute and said, "I'm not that Yellow, just because I'm Asian. I can't believe that I'm 'Yellow Auntie' now..."

One other thing I love about Anna is that she has a good sense of humor. She knew what my niece meant, she just wanted to give me trouble. And give me trouble she did.

And what's more, she gives me great blogging fodder...

I can only hope to marry someone like her. Or a naive 18 year old girl who does not know any better. Either way I will be happy.
