The Summer Palace

I went to hang out with my brother’s friend and her daughter in the summer palace on Sunday. Her daughter is totally not like her. My brother’s friend is an elegant, soft-spoken, long-leg lady. However, her daughter’s is almost like a mixture of a little boy and an 80-year old woman.

She resembles her dad, no doubt. What irritates me is her expressionless face and dead-fish eyes. She talks the whole lot deal but repeatedly talking about the same thing or idea. If you deliberately ignore her, she would nudge your arm with the back of her hand lightly, repeatedly and persistently, exactly like how old women do.

Very energetic yet not smart enough to entertain herself, she was running around with other kids. I was saying to myself, oh yeah, perhaps she is very good with making friends. Later I realized the boy was chasing after her only because she had hit him earlier.
