Tea that packs a whollop

I was a bit nervous about today. aMa’s older sister is in town for a week and we went to pay our respects. Last time when I was here, I was nothing but an embarrassment to the family. There are certain methods of acceptable behavior and I didn’t know them. I was sick and it all went poorly. So, today, with lurkitty’s help, I dressed nicely and sat there with my dozen words of their language and tried to establish cross-cultural pathways and positive relationships. I think it went well. I’m so relieved.
