"You Are Korean."

When Master told me his brother's wife was pregnant, I asked if she was having a boy or a girl.

Master's Wife said, "They don't know. In Korea, doctors can't tell because parents want boys and..." she seemed to search for a way to explain it at my level of Korean. I understood.

"Ah, I understand," I said. "But if they give a doctor money? Will they know?"

Master laughed. "Oh, Amanda! You are Korean!"

An American educator moves to Korea, presumably to teach English. Instead she discovers that learning Korean one taekwondo class at a time is a more captivating activity.
