When you buy a graphic novel "for the kid" and wait for years until he is interested in it, and bring it along on vacation, "just in case," and then finally break down and read it yourself...
I cried! I did. I also was proud of myself of being able to read some of the Korean song lyrics. I could read zero of the Mandarin vocabulary. 🫣
Now I want pink toe nails.

Another "bought for the kid" book that I really bought for myself, and decided to read this weekend to refresh my memory. Ole Golly seems to have a pretty good outlook on life, honestly. As an adult, I recognize more the different signs of wealth and poverty of Harriet's friends, neighbors, and her own family. When kiddo was smaller, we definitely purposefully dressed him in bright clothes while traveling. Easier to spot than purple socks. I'm still not quite sure what a "fink" is. 😅
