April 8 -- Tonight was book club at Dana's. I love bookclub; everyone is so nice and smart and insightful. We read Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and it was a really good discussion. One of the things I realized about the book is that I want a do-over. Not so much a do-over for raising my kids, although there is a lot I would love to do differently now that I have this "tiger mom" perspective. No, I would want to do my life over. I look at the author, Amy Chua, and I am amazed at how much she accomplished, is accomplishing, in her life.
But then again, it's not in my gene pool. For the daughter of European immigrants, I guess I came out alright after all. I think so anyway.
