[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bettina[/quote] Your husband is Chinese and you are British. You met in London while doing graduate studies, fell in love, and your joint search for jobs led to D.C. You work at the Library of Congress and your husband is at NIH. Bettina is striking and you often get compliments on her unique looks which match her unique name. Neither of your families is happy about the fact that you live so far from them, but you have regular Skype sessions and you try to get home for visits every other year. Alternating trips to the UK with trips to China. You hope to get Bettina into a Chinese immersion program and you are currently searching for a Nanny who speaks Mandarin. You hate cooking and your husband never learned how to cook so you eat out a lot. You enjoy reading sci-fi/ time travel books, you dream about doing a Baltic cruise, and you aren't good at parallel parking. You listen to podcasts of BBC's Woman's Hour while folding laundry and wish you had the stamina to listen to audio books. You hate "reading" board books to Bettina and can't wait until you can read The Secret Garden together. She will be bored by it, but you will insist on finishing the entire book and by the end you will have to agree with her. It is a boring book that you mistakenly remembered enjoying as a child. The same thing will happen with Paddington, but you will especially dislike the alternative option of reading Junie B. Jones aloud. What a horrid series![/quote]
