How Now Brown Cow

Oh, there are so many stories I have forgotten to write down in my vacation hiatus from blogging. So I may be back-filling in some of these posts. Sorry for the jump in the time line if you are one that likes things in chronological order.

Adrienne definitely has some Singaporean traits after having spent all of her two plus years growing up here. For example, her favorite meal is chicken rice, she has been known to say 'lah' now and again, and she is afraid to walk on grass, preferring the pavement instead (a trait that really concerns her father). In an effort to introduce Adrienne to some of the American greatness's and remind her of her true bloodline, my dad had several tricks up his sleeves for her month-long stay in Idaho. The first--root beer floats! It's hard to get more American than this delicious treat. True to her roots, Adrienne was a big fan. So much so that this was used several times to lure her from her much-loved bathtime (although it always warranted a bit of thought of whether or not it was worth prematurely ending a nice and warm bath). So score one for America. Here's the thing though--now my daughter wants 'Beer!' Should you hear her ask for it, I swear she is referring to Root Beer Floats. Maybe we should have gone with calling them Brown Cows...
