I have to say that metrodad’s blog<\/a> is pushing dooce aside. I cannot stop reading it. I am vastly amused.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting! It sounds like his parents are wealthy and well-educated. First of all his mother was an airline stewardess, which back in the day, was the ritziest gig women could aim for. In Korea, if you were a woman from a wealthy, well-educated family and happened to be good-looking, then you tried to become an airline stewardess; it was a coveted job. This was told to me by my aunt, my gomo*<\/em>, who was a stewardess for a few short years. She was poor and aspired to be like those wealthy, well-educated women because she was beautiful (or so the story goes). His mother speaks 6-7 languages and dated European men! That would be pretty far-out for a Korean woman 50 years ago back in the mother country. (Another one of my aunts, my emo**<\/em>, married a French correspondent and had to promise never to live in Korea).<\/p>\n

Also, his father played tennis. Also not a working man’s sport.<\/p>\n

Here is his personalized logo from his website:<\/p>\n

Wait, wait. I take it back. Try reading “Surburban Nightlife,” dooce<\/a>‘s post on Jan 9.<\/p>\n
