Meiling: Ru my husband...you have been here for hours now and you're still not ready? The official will be here any minute now. And why did you bring all these clothes here? I Ru: Oh I thought it would be easier that way - it seemed like a good idea at the time. So, how about this one? Meiling: No that won't do. The official would be offended if you didn't take him hunting. Ru: Well then what would it take to offend him enough so he never comes back? Meiling: RU!!! He's a very dear long-time friend of your mother's! I Ru: Ok all right already! I Ru: Here - how about this one? I have always liked the little orange flowers... Meiling: No. Today is not a good day to look like a rotten pumpkin. I have to go and help An-Li right now so please hurry and get ready. I won't be long. Ru: (muttering under his breath) Take your time my dear - how about some time next week... I Meiling: RU!! WHAT are you doing? That's Qing's robe! I Ru: Oh...and here I thought I was shrinking. Well, you did tell me I should lose some weight. Ru: Guess I should have seen that coming!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with these pictures - it's not very often I get to throw things at one of my dolls!
Ru: Well then what would it take to offend him enough so he never comes back? Oh, I can empathize with this SO much! Great story!
