(Truthfully, Eddie obeyed adults enough to do as they told, so really, if she didn't want him swearing....

But she doesn't ask him not to, so Eddie doesn't think to stop. The kid had a worse mouth than people gave a baby-face like him credit for sometimes.)

Okay, okay yeah that makes sense.

(He smiles a little off-hand. She corrected him, he thinks, in a nice way that didn't make him feel too stupid.)

Being Chinese sounds really cool. We have sooome holiday traditions, but none that sound that fun. Christmas maybe.
