Problem: Amy's crush, Robert, was coming over for Christmas Eve dinner! "What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?
OH NO!!!
Robert and his family will be joining us for Christmas Eve dinner!
I must pretend I don't like him!
Event 1: "And then they arrived ... Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence."
Amy, you remember Robert!
Oh, yeah, Robert! Hi!
Hello.
What kind of "Christmas" food is this?
Event 2: "On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu."
Event 3: Dinner threw me deeper into despair. ...
It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied!
BURP!
Climax: "Then my father … plucked out the soft meat... offering me the tender fish cheek … I wanted to disappear.
Fish Cheeks! Amy, Your favorite!
Resolution: " It wasn't until many years later – long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert – that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson"
You want to be the same as American girls on the outside. But inside you must always be Chinese. You mustbe proud you are different.
Your only shame is to have shame!
