How Did I Get Here?

Sunday

Funny how things come full circle.

Today we had lunch at a Mexican restaurant with friends who are going to China. What makes this weird is that a few years ago, we had a Mexican dinner with these same people the night before they left…. for China.

Back then, they were going for a year. Now they are going 3-4 years.

I couldn’t imagine that. Taking my family to China and living there for that long.

With three blondish boys, they get mobbed everywhere they go because light hair is so uncommon over there and the fact that Chad and his wife have three sons is insane to them. The Chinese are still only allowed one kid, especially if they have a boy. So THREE BOYS is way out there.

Here is what would happen if the Grose family did this:

1. I would lose about half my body weight because they don’t have American food over there and I’m not a fish kinda guy.

2. I would cause an international incident because I can be an ass, especially in a foreign country. Just asked Spotsyltucky.

3. My head would get freakishly big because they don’t have American TV over there and I would be reading a lot of books.

4. I would somehow put off seeing all the incredible sights I assume China has because on my days off, I “just wouldn’t feel like it.”

5. I would mispronounce many words because I wouldn’t put all that much work into learning the language. See #2.

So yeah, me in China wouldn’t be the smartest move.
