My family would jog or skate along the Sunset Canal during the evenings as part of the family ritual. As the children prefer to skate, they would finish their rounds much faster and go home on their own leaving behind the two old folks.
Today was no different except that it started to drizzle when my wife and I started to make our way home. My wife turned to me and said, “Do you think the children will bring us umbrella?”
I said without hesitation, “Dan gu gu.” (wait long long in Hokkien)
Just when it was about to pour, we saw a lanky figure running towards us with two umbrellas. Our son came to save us from being drenched. I felt ashamed that I have so little faith in my children.
