The Flea and the Rice Ball

糯米治木蚤，一物治一物

Literally: Glutinous rice is the key to catch a flea. There's always a solution to everything

Guess who's the rice ball and who's the flea....

We adopted a puppy from the Hong Kong Dog Rescue over the weekend. He's a cute little thing and everyone was happy. The one thing that I noticed was Grandpa was particularly emotional about the dog. By the time we were done with errands, he downed a bottle of Soju plus two shots of whisky already. Grandpa started to talk about the first dog he had as a child (and our new puppy looks exactly like THE dog and thus the emotion) and the speech turned a bit more heated after 20 minutes. Grandpa is not a happy drunk. He's the type who stays quite most of the time and only let his thoughts out and not necessarily in the nicest way when he's drunk.

Grandma took Changunnie to the sofa to watch TV. Grandpa sat down with Daddy on the other side and an argument started. I was in the shower and didn't know about the subject matter. What I know is:

Changunnie climbed out of the sofa and said to Grandma, "Halmoni, wait a second". Changunnie proceeded to lead Grandpa and Daddy to the two pink plastic chair in front of the fireplace. "Daddy you sit in this thinking chair. Grandpa you sit in the other one". When the two men are settled, Changunnie had one hand on her waist, one hand held out in the "read my hand, sister" position and said "From now, no more fighting!"

As if that's not funny enough, Changunnie walked back to the sofa and told Grandma, "now I can watch my TV"

No one said anything from that point on.....
