My's niece Na is a character, to say the least. I'm put in charge of picking her up at school sometimes when My is busy at her salon. Na is proud of her American boyfriend- she runs up to me with hugs and kisses. She is already grooming herself to have an American husband- "i'm crazy about Americans", she says to My. It's her version of the shining knight fantasy- a fantasy that might be shattered when she finally steps off the plane in Cleveland.
She's apparently a handful for her mom, who asks me every time i see her, "you like baby? You want one baby?"
Every once in a while i hear a knock at my door, and little Na peeks in.
"Na! Em khoe khong?"
"Khoe..." Then she proceeds to show off her drawing skills, virtually ruining every pen i own. But, as i've learned in this life, you can't say no to a five year old girl (unless she's yours). So the sixteen dollar brush pen is offered as a sacrifice to kindergarten art. She's actually quite artistically inclined, so the pen didn't die in vain.

Is there anyone in My's family that isn't cute?
No. They are all cute.
