Today, while my mom was trying to teach my little sister how to read from one of
those picture+label books, my mom asked me what a “jack” was, as in
the game of “balls and jacks”. After explaining the game, she told me
she used to play a game like that back in Vietnam, with only one difference; no
jacks. She used chopsticks.M[mom's]LIAsian
