     I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas

I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for

Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?

    On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister's

family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he__was__not__worthy__of__existence.

    Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and

reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them.

My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made

a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.

     At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her

fine cooking. "It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our

astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to

bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.

     After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the same as American girls on the

outside." She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You

must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame."

     It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her

particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.
