Odd, but good

Emily and a little friend on the playground.
The odd thing is - we have police coming to our home at least 3 times a week.
The good thing is - this is because the police woman is actually Carey's language teacher.

The odd thing is - since I'm pregnant, locals say I can't eat or drink anything cold.
The good thing is - I still eat ice-cream and have diet sodas over ice at home.

The odd thing is - the only way to the bathroom is through the kitchen.
The good thing is - there's a western toilet in there.

The odd thing is - you have to go through the master bedroom to get to the other bedroom.
The good thing is - Emily has her own room.

The odd thing is - locals say I'm having a boy, because boys make your belly button poke out.
The good thing is - my belly button poked out with Emily too, so I'm trusting the ultrasound.

The odd thing is - you can't buy just 4 lightbulbs, that's unlucky.
The good thing is - they'll happily sell you 5.

The odd thing is - you're supposed to leave all your trash on your fast food table when you leave.
The good thing is - this table clearing provides a job for yet one more person.

The odd thing is - you can't pick at your teeth in public.
The good thing is - to dig around in your nose is completely acceptable. (Emily practices this.)
