HAPPY HANNAH (REAL NAME HANH). I MET HER YESTERDAY IN THE LAP POOL AND TODAY AGAIN. SHE HAS A 9 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND 6 YR OLD SON. MARRIED TO THE LOVE OF HER LIFE. SHE'S VIETNAMESE, VERY BRIGHT AND SELF-DEPRECATING. SHE BELIEVES SHE'S LESS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW MORE ENGLISH. I TOLD HER SHE KNOWS WAY MORE ENGLISH THAN I KNOW VIETNAMESE. TRUE, I KNOW NONE. SHE SAYS I'M NICE. I'M NOT, I TOLD HER I'M KIND. I TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY THEY TREAT ME. KIND=ALIKE. AND I KNOW SINCERE FROM INSINCERE. AUTHENTIC FROM INAUTHENTIC. I SUGGESTED LEARNING ENGLISH WITH SUBTITLES FROM THE LIBRARY DVDS LIKE SNOW WHITE TO WATCH WITH HER KIDS. SHE THANKS ME FOR TALKING TO HER.
MOST PEOPLE I DON'T BOTHER WITH BECAUSE OF THE POWER, ATTENTION HABITS THEY HAVE. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I PUT UP WITH THE SILLY ONES. NO, SAYING THAT IS AN INSULT TO SILLY. SILLY IS AN ART FORM LIKE HUMOR THAT DOESN'T SEEK TO DEMEAN OR MAKE LESS OF OTHER PEOPLE. SOME PEOPLE SEEK TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES, PUFFING THEMSELVES UP BY PUTTING OTHERS DOWN. CRITICIZING WHEN IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. I GAVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO IGNORE THEM OR CORRECT THEM. OLD MAN LABELED ME GOOFY TRYING TO PUT ME DOWN AND GET THE UPPER HAND. I REPLIED I'D RATHER BE GOOFY THAN PLUTO (DISNEY DOGS) BECAUSE GOOFY CAN TALK. HE WALKED AWAY BEFORE I HAD TO TELL HIM TO GO AWAY. I'VE TOLD MEN TO GO AWAY BEFORE. PEOPLE CAN BE SO ARROGANT AND FAMILIARLY DISRESPECTFUL. LIKE MY OBSOLETE FAMILY.
WHO GAVE HIM THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE ME. NOT ME. THEY THINK THEY CAN SHATTER ME. NOT LIKELY.
