Both Zibin and I have very rebellious histories as children. We’re both the type that would specifically do the opposite of what we were asked to do by our parents. (annoying little buggers we must have been) So today when I was on Skype with Zibin, I was telling him how our kids are probably likely to inherit this rebellious streak in us, and that if they give us problems next time, he and I either cannot, or both could (thnx, HJ) blame each other. “See lah, he/she takes after you! So rebellious!” Zibin’s deadpan punchline? “Hope (our kids) è´Ÿè´Ÿå¾—æ£ lor.” [translation: two negatives make a positive] Have I married an optimist or what?
You married a rebellious optimist, who happens to learn this principle from his engineering education.
