Accommodating and nurturing Dad this morning to his daughter who will be participating in the Math Olympics today: "Remember, no matter how you do, you're a winner just for getting into the Math Olympics."
Oh gag me.
Italian-Welsh, and newly-baptized "Chinese" Mom (inspired by Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua) to same: "But, you'll really be a winner if you bring home a medal."
(Of course, were I really gung-ho Chinese, I might have said, "And don't even think of coming home without one." But, I'm not that Chinese.)
