Just a little while ago, our 8-year-old neighbor Sofia rang the door bell. Resplendent in red, she wished us a Happy Lunar New Year and offered us some homemade dumplings, which we were thrilled to accept.
"How many would you like?" she asked. "They are very lucky."
"Would 2 each be too many?" we asked.
She paused and gulped. "How about three each?" she offered. "Four is a bad luck number! It's like death!"
We were all too happy to adjust our order, plus? What a great reason to eat even more dumplings!
