For those of you don’t know, C is a knitter. She recently knitted a stuffed elephant. When she finished it, she actually said to this elephant, “I am your creator.” She then christened the elephant Wilbur.
We recently took Wilbur with us to the Bay Area over the Christmas weekend. Our SF mom loved him. She had a huge smile when she saw him. She would carry him around in her arms. She took lots pictures with him and lots more of him. Our favorite picture is the one where SF Mom placed Wilbur in the middle of some her outdoor plants. She loved Wilbur so much that she wanted to keep him. Unfortunately, Wilbur is a gift for a friend’s baby.
The whole time I was thinking, “How is SF Mom going to react when we bring an actual human baby for holiday visits?” I’m sure she will love a grandchild even more than Wilbur. Yet I wonder if she will place her grandkid in plants like those Anne Geddes pictures?
For the time being, I hope that C will eventually create another stuffed elephant for SF Mom. Anything that will deflect attention from producing an actual baby is fine by me.

party bus
Surprisingly, out of my parents, the one that has more input about the wedding is my father.
One of his ideas is to charter a tour bus to pick up all our family friends to take them to the wedding. The idea is to start in Orange County, make a stop in Los Angeles, and then make a stop in Bakersfield. Then, this bus would take a bunch of first-generation Koreans to the church in Daly City.
I can only imagine what the experience on this bus would look like. I imagine lots of singing and clapping on the way up. I imagine them stopping at a rest area and eating lots of kimbap and 7up. I imagine one ajushi completely asleep and slightly drooling on his suit.
I guess my father’s idea is that a bus would make it convenient for guests to come to the wedding rather than having to drive up on their own. While I applaud my father’s generosity, I think he seriously overestimates our popularity. Honestly, I haven’t seen some of these people since high school.
Party bus or not, if they are willing to attend and spend our special day with us, we’ll be gracious and honored that they would make such a trip.
