My daughter Julia came to live with me two years ago for school. It isn't easy for me to raise someone who is practically my nine-year-old clone, but that is exactly what I find I am doing with Julia. Through our judo and soccer practices, reading, writing and arithmetic, Girl Scouts, and Japanese language classes, we occasionally have a conversation that connects us both in a sometimes deep and usually humorous way. Hopefully, you will be as entertained as we are.
Broccoli
The extended Greene family are having a holiday meal prepared by Mama. The entrée is broccoli and cheese wrapped in ham.
Mama: I just love this meal! You know, Uncle Panda doesn’t like this meal. It has ham, broccoli and cheese; what’s not to like?
(without skipping a beat)
Julia: Broccoli.
