Although I am of Chinese descent, I never really learned to speak Chinese. One evening, I came home boasting about a wonderful meal I had eaten in Chinatown.

Unfortunately, I could not remember the name of the restaurant, but was able to write the Chinese character that was on the door and show it to my mother.

"Do you know what it says?"

Mom answered with a smile, "It says 'Pull.'"
