(Hail to The King, baby)

  SUN SU BEGINS - YEAR 3

Today my sweet boy, Sun Su, turned three years old.  He had a huge birthday party over the weekend. 

ME: "Sun Su, can appah (dad, me) come to your birthday party?"

SUN SU: (nods yes)

ME: "Can baby (sister) come to your birthday party?"

SUN SU: (thinks about it, then nods yes)

ME: "Can Kwon Sae (close cousin same age) come to your birthday party?"

SUN SU: "No!"

ME: "What if he brings you a present?"

SUN SU: (nods yes)

Sun Su is a just and painfully honest king.  Except when he blames the baby for things he did.

Lots of kids and their parents showed up.  Here, Sun Su is a little down.  He's surrounded by people at his own party and yet he still doesn't have any cake or presents to show for it.  This is not the party he was imagining for the past month. 

Here's a close up of my sad little Sun Su.  He loves the suspenders since he always sees me putting them on for work.  Well, not those Hello Kitty suspenders but you know what I mean.

It's a Corean midget convention.  Amy is in the pink-ish shirt above (and below). 

Lots of Corean food was to be had of course.  None of it cooked by Amy of course. 

As Amy was saying, "If I didn't have to cook for the kids, I'd never cook at all." 

Just doing her part to dispel the traditional Corean wife fallacy. 

My sweet petite treat Ooseung is getting prettier every day.  She can be a vicious pit bull at times though - when Sun Su runs away with her toy, she'll charge, grab him, and throw him to the ground.  And this was before I introduced her to my Pride Fighting Championship DVDs.  She gets her temper from her mother.

This is Sun Su and his Thomas the Train table set.  Normally that table set-up would cost about $200 with all the individual parts included.  Amy got it for $20 because it was a "used display" that the store was replacing the day that Amy went in to ask about it.  (Then again, she's been asking about it almost every day for months.) Our kids get nothing short of the best ... deals. 

While I'm on the subject, what is up with the Thomas the Train series.  I mean, there are like five blue trains, ten red ones, and about a hundred other ones (green, brown or black) - all with their own odd names (Skarloey?  Percy?  Bulgy?  WTF?).  It's like these sadistic toy makers made them all look almost the same just to fuck with you and your kids.   Despite this, Sun Su can identify them pretty well and I can too now.

There's even this strange "chocolate covered Percy" train.  Considering that many 3-year olds can't quite enunciate their "R's" yet, I am sure I am not the only parent to have this exchange with their kid.

SUN SU: "I like choco covered P*ssy."

ME:  "Yeah ... I do too."

King Sun Su and his cousins and Blues Clues table cloth. That cage in the back functions as both a DVD player protector and a fighting cage.  I'm kidding - they already broke the DVD player.

Thanks for coming to the party.  Now leave so I can play with all of my new stuff.
