My Parents Are So Informed
I was surprised one evening. My parents were eating fruits and watching the late evening Korean news. I sat and snacked on the sliced melons. The news about the Iran leader/activist came up and my parents started to discuss and shared their reasons why that particular leader was bad, this and that, and on. It was interesting to know that my parents were much more informed about the world news, the political agenda (both U.S. and South Korea), and a variety of current agendas. I was listening because I really didn’t have anything to say and you know what they say, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubt.”
Although both of my parents are not college educated, they are active subscribers to Joongang Ilbo (equivalent to L.A. Times but in Korean).
Since I want to join in their ‘partner discussion,’ I changed my homepage to Google News. 
Strange to say, I found the Sundays L.A. Times on the front yard this morning. Strange since I don’t subscribe to the newspaper edition.
