last week a chinese colleague came by my office and asked me, "so are you celebrating the lunar new year?" i stared at her blankly and replied, "oh, i'm not chinese." she seemed a bit taken aback by my response and said, "oh, ok. i just thought you might because many of my korean friends celebrate it..."
a few days later i was on the phone with my dad:
him: did you do anything special with your sister (who(m?) i'd been visiting) for the new year?
me: since when did we celebrate chinese new year?
him: it is not chinese! how have we raised our kids that two of you get together and neither thinks to do anything for the new year?
