Mutt and Jeff

If you didn’t know, I have a half-sister here in America, Angela. She’s just shy of 14 years old and stands about 5’9” with blonde hair… and it’s always a kick being around her because we look like Mutt and Jeff and we love to banter back and forth about me being the older, shorter sister and her being my baby sister could kick my butt in a fight.

We walk into a store together and we both wonder what people think when they see us- tall blonde girl, short Asian girl (typically in sweatpants, make-up less) usually with our daddy.

What would you think?

It’s also entertaining when I go to her hockey game and her teammates will ask her “who’s that Chinese girl that’s waving at you?” She responds with “that’s my sister…and she’s KOREAN” and get a “oh my gosh that’s like so cool” response back.

I guess it doesn’t really matter what people think. It’s more entertaining hearing the reactions she gets when she tells people she has an Asian sister and sitting at the dinner table watching her enjoy kimchi thinking she’s more Asian than I am in some ways.

All that matters is I’m so proud of my sister for being proud of me!
