On Being Fair

I don't think I'm fair. I'm blessed with quite a shade of tanned coloured skin. Not that I like it, but I guess I'm contented with it. As long as I don't get any tanner.

When we were at Grandpa's place for reunion dinner on New Year's eve, Grandpa made a remark no one ever made of. I mean, I don't know if him being at 90 years old could still remember whose child I am, but I'm sure being healthy as he is, his memory shouldn't be deteriorating.

Just that, he said...

"You became so fair."
