I Wish I Could Speak Chinese

I really do, I wish I could speak Chinese. And the reason today: I want to know what people are saying as I walk by. I see them look at me, then they smile, then look at each other and start making all these noises. I want to know if they’re talking about me!

I’ve resolved not to let these encounters bother me. That would just be “borrowed trouble” (read that in a book and liked it). And since they happen a few times each day I would spend the majority of my time being bugged.

But still, I wish I could speak Chinese. And then I could surprise people like my Dad does in Thailand. I would respond to their statement with fluent Chinese. *sigh* Someday I may be able to stumble through some Chinese phrases :)
