[...] So I guess it should be no surprise to anyone, my younger sister was always my dad’s favorite, and I was always my mom’s. That much was obvious to anyone who knew our family. My parents didn’t hide it the way American families do. In another interesting aspect of the Cornell study, they found that the adult children in the study quite often incorrectly identified the favorite child in the family. Most often they’d say it was themselves, incorrectly. I guess that goes to show you, in American culture, there’s at least a facade of loving all the children equally. Being in America I think my parents at least attempted to do that, even if they didn’t succeed. Do your Asian parents play favorites?

This book finally arrived to Australia. I've been following this author ever since he entered a writing contest that won third place on myspace five years ago. I think he entered an excerpt from the “Five and Nine” chapter. I was captivated by his audacity to share so much intimate details about his family and life. Our Vietnamese International Club (VIC) is raising money to get Su out here to speak to us. Thank you 8Asians for putting the spotlight on a wonderful human being and writer.
