Just a reminder the story is told by either Jake or Kori in alternating Chapters. A Neglected Boy "The Twins" LXXI jacoblion@tutanota.com Justin and I were on the road for about 20 minutes although he had not said a word, he did look happy sitting there in the front seat of Ethan's Willys. I had decided to just let him take some time and let him start the conversation when he was ready. I spotted Cumberland Farms gas station and convenience store pulled in and asked Justin if he wanted an ice cream. ...... "no thanks Dad". I fueled up the Willys bought 2 donuts, a chocolate milk and a Vanilla coffee. Back in the Jeep, I set the donuts and chocolate in the center between Justin and me and we were off. It was another 10 minutes when I heard Justin ask . . . . "Dad, you love me, right?" ... wow, I wasn't expecting that ... Yes, Justin I love you and Kori loves you. ... "no Dad, I mean do you really love me, not other `Dad' I mean you. Why did you adopt us?" ...... I unbuckled his seatbelt and he sat in my lap while I explained that Kori and I had wanted kids. We never expected to be given the two best kids in the whole world. ... He smiled. ... We were so excited the day you and Kyle walked through the door. Just think Justin two little rug-rats came into our lives and our dream came true. I kissed the top of his head resting on my chest ... "I gotta pee Dad" ... A short walk to a large tree. Back in the Jeep that donut and chocolate milk found a kid in need. The rest of the ride Justin explained how much he and Kyle loved me and Kori. We pulled in the driveway brought in 2 large bags of laundry and started the washer. As I closed the lid and turned ... Justin was looking at me with his cute little smile and those big brown eyes. Again, I am reminded how beautiful this little boy is. He took two steps threw his arms around me, squeezed me tight and I heard those special words ...... "Dad, I'm hungry" ...... that's the rug-rat I love! Great Wall of China? ... I asked ... ye ye (yes yes) Eyes even bigger now. We set the thermostat slightly warmer and were off for a big lunch. I'm not sure where he got his appetite ... but, it was so much fun to watch Justin eat. I enjoyed wonton soup to start he enjoyed Miyeok Guk, beef seaweed soup, with as much slurping and loud sloppy sucking noises as he could make. I have had to learn some Korean customs, like most Koreans do not eat with a knife or fork ... in Korea that is. Slurping and belching are acceptable while dining, and is sometimes considered a sign of appreciation of the cooking. Kori and I have reduced the belching part ... although Ethan and Keith find it very funny and Kyle seems to be better at it than Justin. Soup finished I watch Justin as he went on to dim sum, Sichuan pork, Braised pork `balls' in gravy, Shrimp with vermicelli and garlic, Peking duck, Steamed vermicelli rolls, Sweet and sour pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Spring rolls. Ok, I have to admit that unlike some American diners Justin only takes very little amounts then returns to the buffet for the best choices. https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-food/eight-chinese-dishes.htm As we sat and enjoyed a very slow lunch, he would tap my arm, then trying to be polite and unnoticed, draw my attention to some rather unkept person carrying 2 plates heaped with food and nearly falling off the plate. I'm not at all sure if he was trying to teach the person how to eat at a buffet but, he made several trips with just 2 or 3 little things on his plate smiling as he walked by that individual's table. ... Rug-rat or brat? Lunch over it was off to Walmart with the `List'. ... One large Tide and 2 large OxiClean odor blasters laundry detergent, <
