Ni hao, Zoe

By May Yee Chen  

Zoe started kindergarten.  

In the past few weeks, therehave been somany heart-racing moments I don't know where to begin.  

(I've had bloggers' block for what seems like forever. Kay knows.)  


Zoe isgoing to Chinese school. In Minnesota.  

Life is funny.  

I'm ethnic Chinese and grew up in Malaysia speaking very little Chinese. My white Minnesotan husbandon the other handstudied Chinese in college and went off tofind his fortunein Taiwan and Shanghai (okay, there is no fortune).  

And nowour little girl is going to Chinese school inAmerica, learning my mother tongue. Which incidentally, even myownmother doesn't speak.It's too much.
