Two weeks until I am king of my hill...
Two weeks before a constant source of home-made Korean food...
Two weeks before a consistently cleaned house... LOL.... Just kidding! (or am I?)
And two weeks before HeeLa gets put into her rightful and proper place as a subordinate of me
~~~ oh, um... forgive the delusional moment!
Yes, two more weeks before HeeLa's family comes to visit for a month, from Korea. As the time approaches, we find ourselves joking more and more about how this will be so good for me, but not so much for HeeLa (not seriously, just joking). This is because I'm male, and my mother in law is Korean.
In western society, most men would rather take an arrow to the knee than have their mother-in-law visit for a month; but that's not so, if you're a guy married to a Korean woman! For reasons I'm still unable to accurately articulate, a Korean woman's son-in-law is a very cherished addition to her family. Yet, a Korean woman's daughter-in-law is an evil bitch who is hell-bent on stealing her son from her. Quite the dichotomy (yet one reason I don't worry so much about having a daughter with HeeLa - that guy should be more scared of her than me).
At any rate, I'm constantly being reminded by HeeLa that I'd better not take any advantage of it; and all I need to do is remember that I'll be alone with her, after her family leaves to go back to Korea. Hmm... good thing to keep in mind, perhaps! :)
Does anyone have any knowledge or thoughts on why this is?
