Korean Translation

I just found out HAPPY BIRTHDAY OR WHATEVER is going to be translated and sold in Korea! I’m totally excited about this and I haven’t signed anything yet or found a translator or anything like that, but how cool is that? I SAID HOW COOL IS THAT? Pretty fucking cool, right? So you can read the book in Korean in a year or so. I have no idea how the translation of my mom’s English will go down, but we’ll figure it out. Or not. Maybe I’ll have nothing to do with it because the only words I know in Korean are nouns. Like if it’s a verb, forget about it. When I talk, it’s like a shopping list. “Need food, water, car, restaurant.”

    I want to go on a date with Annie. I would take on a carriage ride around central park and read passages from her delightful memoir aloud to her to woo her.
