One evening, I felt inadequate of Mama Lai's love and I apologized to her for never getting a PhD, not becoming a doctor or lawyer, never learning to play piano, getting average grades in school, and not
getting her the Cadillac I promised. Mama Lai patted me on the head and said:
"You know, it's ok? You turned out to be a good kid. All my children are good kids. You are not disappointing to me. We only hope for the best, want our kids lives to be easier."
And as she kept looking at me, she changed her mind:
"Well maybe the only heartache you give me is your weight."
