Did you know...

shoplifting is a side effect of PMS. According to Saejin, Korean girls suffer bouts of kleptomania while their little friend is in town. Their emotions get way out of whack which makes it hard to not stuff their purses full of goods. Because shoplifting forces prices up, this may be one reason the Korean government allows women to take a day off when it's "that time of the month." Saejin then went on with his PMS lecture to inform Shelly and I that a Korean girls version of PMS is something like 87 percent worse than a Western girls. Not sure how he as a man has become the authority on PMS but it may have something to do with his sister. On normal days she is doe eyed, placid and yet cheerful. The way she speaks is educated, respectful and unless her hair is on fire she refuses to use any curse words. But when it's her gloomy day look out, every fourth word is a four letter word of abuse. I think it's scarred Saejin for life.

such insight! Try living with 4 women in one house - it's a minefield. Thanks heavens those days are over and I get to see them when they're all serene!
