The entire family visited China Village last night and I got to see my friend Amy the owner. We have been friends for a long time. Since I was born in the Year of the Tiger she refers to me as her Tiger Baby!
I accept this name, I can be quite the Tiger if I want to be but last night I learned about a new Chinese name that really fits me.
Amy told my parents about a trend in China . . . the Xiaohuangdi or Little Emperor. Because of the Chinese "One Child" policy the children over there grow-up to be overly entitled and spoiled.
I contemplated this while eating my leftover Steamed Rice and Lo Mein tonight. Honestly, being a Little Emperor sounds like a pretty good deal! Servants, Gifts and Well Cooked Food seems like a good way to go through life.
