It is the year of the rat.

  Quote

The Rat is the first of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, Rat jumped down and landed ahead of Ox, becoming first.

I got my red bag this morning.  I used to get one from my Chinese mother but since she died I not was expecting one.  I think my wife just did it because she is older than me.

BTW she is Japanese (Anri Sugihara) not Chinese. 

It is amazing how the US taking over Japan after WWII affected them including diet.

Usually in Chinese families the woman marries into husband's family but in my case I married into my wife's family.

 

My wife's mother had multiple son-in-laws but I was the only one she referred to as her son.

She passed away last year after a long, debilitating, humiliating illness.

Do the Chinese call that “wearing the pants” too?

Never heard that expression in Chinese (穿褲子, Chuān kùzi) but my wife wears pants a lot more than me - I tend to wear shorts even in winter unless I am working outside when it is cold.  It probably does not translate well to a culture where men wore robes for almost 3000 years and those who did wear trousers of some sort were more likely laborers or the trousers were secondary items.

Sorry I am a bit touchy and trying to stay refrained. 

Very bad day last Saturday, posted a bit trying to release stress and got banned for a week with permanent stain on my TBD soul which made my day even worse.

If you haven’t been banned at least once on this forum you’re not doing it right.
