There are four main members of my family: my mum, dad, younger sister, and of course, me. Then there are three other furry members of my family: Pumpkin, Niu Niu, and Shadow. My mother is from Beijing and my dad is from Harbin. My sister and I were both born in Beijing, however, I went to England at a young age and actually found that adapting to life in England is quite a bit easier than adapting to life in China. Our family does a lot of things together such as playing games like poker and traveling.
Mom says being the parents of two children is different and unpredictable.
Norah’s greatest achievement was winning an award for math.
According to Mom, the most annoying child in the family is Shadow (the cat).
Mom’s greatest achievement was passing the LAMDA exam Level 8 Gold with merit.
Olivia says the most annoying thing her parents have ever done was giving their dog away.
Mom said they named their daughter Norah because when she first started speaking she would always say “no.”
After dropping Norah and Olivia off at school, mom grabs a snack with some friends and then goes to the gym.
Mom says the reason she’s always so loud when Olivia’s friends are visiting is that they’re having a party and parties are loud!
