More from the pointless mom email archive...
These three snapshots are from a powerpoint file my mom sent me. Obviously, it's in Chinese. Her instructions were to enjoy the photos and maybe find some words to "feel for the illustrations". Really, her words exactly. My mom knows I can't really read Chinese, but I guess this is her attempt to pretend like I at least used to. I recognize a lot of basic characters, ones like "he" and "she" and "fly" and "run" and "noodle" and "ma po tofu" and "soup dumpling". Oh, wait, I'm talking about in general, not in this file, but that would be something, wouldn't it? For this powerpoint presentation to be a guy and a girl who ran all over the world to find noodles and ma po tofu? Anyway I can pick out a lot of super simple words, but it's not like I would ever be able to write "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". Come to think of it, I don't even think I would even be able to say that.
Nevertheless she has never given up on me. What a great mom. Always, ALWAYS these huge emails in Chinese. Usually they are related to religion or faith. Since she also loves powerpoint, she also likes to send me powerpoint files in Chinese. Which as you all know is my second favorite thing, next to religious Chinese emails.
Hm. I wonder when I'll be getting a powerpoint of the Ten Commandments in Chinese?
