All too soon, it's over. Noelle sighs as they get up to continue shopping.
You should've tried harder to convince me to learn Chinese.
Are you serious? We told you not to quit so many times.
But you never properly explained {i}why{/i} it was so important not to.
All you did was give me condescending lectures about how I was too young to understand why it mattered, and how I'd be an embarrassment if I didn't learn.
English is our second language. It's hard to explain things to to you.
And it's true, you ARE an embarrassment.
{font=chunhua_chinese.ttf}阿姨好{/font} = Hello Auntie.
Last week I saw our neighbor's son Michael moving the lawn, and he greeted me in Chinese! {font=chunhua_chinese.ttf}阿姨好。{/font}
See, that's what happens when you listen to your parents.
Michael goes to Taiwan with his family every summer! THAT'S the reason he's more fluent, not because he was a superior child to me!
Why didn't we just visit Taiwan more often when I was younger? That alone would've made me more interested in learning.
I feel like I've been trying to understand Chinese culture by looking at it through a soda straw until now.
You think {i}we{/i} didn't want to visit Taiwan more too?
The airplane tickets are expensive. We have to save up for years just for one trip.

Oh.
But...Even so, you should have done more to show me that speaking Mandarin could be a positive experience.
Why do you always speak to me in English even though you can't fully express yourselves in that language?
If you'd conversed with me in Chinese from a young age, I would have naturally picked it up from daily use.
We thought you'd have an accent if we did that.
We were worried you wouldn't fit in at school.
But that's ridiculous!
There's no way I would have developed an accent when everyone else I interacted with spoke English.
I would have grown up bilingual without any ill effects.
Resigned, her dad shrugs.
Well, too late now. What can you do?
The last day of the trip
Noelle and her relatives visit the columbarium housing Ah-ma's ashes.
My mom visits this place every time she's in Taiwan.
Noelle follows her grandpa into the worship hall.
