Mimi’s Uncle

While the English term ‘uncle’ is generic and can be apply to all your mother’s and father’s brothers. For Mimi right now there is only 1 uncle and that is Uncle Adam. Adam is a fellow co-worker and friend who recently lived in Taiwan for these last 6 months. Last Monday he moved back to Portland but not until after helping Mimi and I release the Mimi’s bird (He loved that bird, he spent 3 very drunken nights with it). When Mimi sees Adam she would say ‘Uncle’ in English. Mimi is also rather shy with strangers and takes quite a while for her to let you hold her. If a stranger tried to hold her she starts crying very loud. However Mimi seems to like her uncle because after only a couple she lets him hold her. Alas uncle has left the island and moved back to the land of good beer, nice weather, and cheap gold. Mimi won’t be able to see uncle until maybe sometime in September. I wonder if she will remember her uncle then.
