T.M.I, Dad! (....Taiwanese Mastery Incognito)

We were at an all-you-can-eat restaurant where Evangelina wasn't going to be able to have the dessert course, right before I was going to (unnecessarily) tell the waiter, Jadon blurted out in Taiwanese, "Mai Kong! (不要講!)"

A few Saturdays ago after an outdoor fellowship time at the park with the youth group from EFC (Evangelical Formosan Church) Irvine, I wrote to Pastor Sam Boyce to thank him for organizing the fun time together.  As usual, he and his wife Awill brought along their toddler Faith, whom Jadon always enjoys immensely.  Apparently, the impression was mutual.  

Here's Pastor Sam's response: 

"Great to have you guys today. When Faith woke up from her nap she was asking where [Jadon] went?  She said she wanted to play with him at the park."

a few days ago we checked Jadon's depth of voice, and he was able to sustain a low F.  we think it was lower than what we checked just a few weeks ago.

What do the childrearing experts have to say about "corduroy punishment"?

Jadon, after telling us how his new pants don't fit because they squeeze his private parts:  "When I grow up,  I'm not going to spank my kids. I'm going to make them wear tight pants instead, because I know how much I hate it."
