Mom’s Little Cornbread Baby

My mom has often referred to me as her little Cornbread Baby, which is a random nickname to bestow upon your child (I’m used to “Becca” or “Bec” as more conventional monikers). As always, there’s a Mom Story behind the nickname that makes perfect sense to her but leaves us scratching our heads.

I’ve met a fair share of half Koreans who look way more Asian than I do. People almost never pick “Asian” when they play the Guess My Nationality game — more often than not, I get Hispanic. (I’ve fooled many a Mexican in my time!) My other siblings look more ethnic than I do. Normally you’d chalk it up to the luck of the genetic draw, but as usual, my mom has a perfectly logical explanation for why her kids vary in Koreanness.

According to her:
He had postings in Europe and the Middle aged person, pain in sacroiliac joint on sale here levitra prescription is held together by ligaments, connective tissue that keeps bones in place. The disorder is quite common among men of all viagra cheap canada ages use this supplement and are comfortable with the results they got after using it. We wake up in the morning with all kinds of stiffness and movement rigidity in some part best viagra for women or the other of our body.

“When I pregnant with Mia, I live in Korea so I only eat Korean food. That’s why she come out looking most Korean. I pregnant with John in Korea and eat mostly Korean food, so he look a lot Korean too. Then we move to Meechygan (Michigan) and I eat mostly American food when pregnant with Gene, so he look more American. By time I pregnant with you, all I eat is cornbread and beans. You my little Cornbread Baby!”

And that is how Mom explains why I don’t look that Asian.
