When I was first making plans to move to China after graduation, Mama Lai and Papa Lai were not thrilled. There were many intense discussions about my plans and future. In the middle of a heated argument, Mama Lai challenged me:
"Who will marry you in China? You are independent American girl. Chinese boys are different from American boys. They will not accept that."
And I retorted:
"Who will marry me here???!"
This gave Mama Lai a moment to pause and then she conceded (sort of):
"Very good point. No one will marry you until you lose weight. Now listen to your mommy and start taking better care of yourself."
