Tai spent a few minutes evaluating my game characters before motioning us to follow her outside. Then she asked if we wanted to go on a boat ride, and switched out her Old School Japanese dress into something a bit more fitting for a Northern Minnesota lake ride. There was no question that we wanted to. Whether we wanted to or not, we absolutely wanted to. So we called mom over and spent the rest of the day having a family plus one trip on the lake, complete with picnic on a small island. Tai spent the day talking about the lake, the fish, and every once in a while slipping in a compliment on my craftsmanship. She similarly reminded me to remain careful, between saying how beautiful the sky and water was. Very Old School Japanese. Then she went home.
