White Day!
On Valentine's Day in Korea, women give men gifts. On White Day, men return the favors!!
I found these instructions on the internet. Are they true?
Happy Pi Day!
I don't see the song my family usually sings on Pi day. We use the tune of "This Old Man" and sing,
"Number Pi, Number Pi --
It's irrational and so am I---
with a 3.1415926---
Pi Day is for lunatics"
(Irrational means crazy. Irrational is also the name for a number that isn't an exact ratio.)
We've been eating Pie every March 14th since 1997
when my daughter's 6th grade math teacher introduced Pi Day as an idea.
Did you eat pie on Pi Day? Do you like math? Do your children like math?

The Yellow Rose of Texas
Today, Kyanghwa told us that women in Korea are wearing yellow roses that symbolize gender equality and hope for the future. Immediately, this old American Song from the civil war (1850s) started playing in my head. This song has some comparative and superlatives in it!! Sometimes beats means hits, but here it means "wins" or "is better than."
What is your favorite flower? Why is it your favorite? Did you ever give it as a gift? Did you ever get it as a gift.

All By Myself
Saule is a Dimash fan! She suggested this song!
Please let me know if the Chinese is not good. I can't read it!!
When I was young, I was very proud when I could do something all by myself. I'm still sometimes happy when I do something difficult or unusual. What can you do all by yourself?
