Marco got himself a new bike today. The little green bike that he has been riding was a hand-me-down from our friends in Torrance, the Scholler family, 8 years ago. Marco had outgrown it and was yearning for a new bike as nice as the other kids now have.
We had a special outing today. Just Marco and I went to the Giant bicycle store in downtown Suzhou and Marco picked out a slick blue number with a bell. Actually, he first picked a yellow bicycle, but our driver, Michael, convinced Marco that yellow is a "girl's color". Marco heeded the warning and switched his choice to blue.
There was an awkward moment when I told Kathleen that we bought the same model and sized bike for Marco as Joseph has. Joseph overheard the conversation and seemed surprised and dismayed that Marco (2 years his junior) has the same sized bicycle.
