Half And Half (2003)
Half And Half
“It's the Chinese word for your father's mother. There is a different Chinese word for your mother's mother, and that's waipo. But I don't call my other grandmother waipo, because she wouldn't understand. My mother's parents are the MacMurrays, and they came over from Scotland thirty years ago, when Mom was only five years old.
Mom still speaks with a bit of a Scottish accent. My friends think it's cute, but frankly I wish she wouldn't roll her rs quite so hard. I think she does it on purpose.
N...ainai has an accent, too, but since she spent most of her life in China, I don't mind it so much. She tells great ghost stories, and her Chinese accent makes them sound even scarier.
“Nainai will have to sleep in your room when she visits,” Mom told me. “She'll have your bed, and you can use your sleeping bag. I know you won't mind.”
Mom was right. I didn't mind sharing my room with Nainai. She and I are close. I love the way she smiles at me and says, “You look more and more like your father.”MoreLess
