Harriet The Spy chapter 5

In chapter 5, Harriet was talking with her parents that she did not want to enter the dancing school but after Ole Golly told her the new idea about going to the dancing school, she became to be OK with it. Then, on Thursday which is the day that Ole Golly will go out, Harriet decided to follow her to see how her boyfriend look like. She felt that Ole Golly was changed when she live with her boyfriend and tried to ask her about it. But Harriet could not let Ole Golly knew that she had followed her on that day. When her mother came back home before she went out to the dinner with her father, Harriet asked them about how they met each other and how did it feel. After she met Ole Golly the other day, she thought that Ole Golly was changed and she did not like it this way.

When Harriet asked her mother about the first time her mother met with her father, I was thinking about when I also asked my mother the same question that Harriet used to ask her mother. My mother told me that they always went to Siam Square together to watch a movie or to eat in some restaurant but that time, my mother did not know Thai very well she could listen and understand a lot better than she could speak. So, I wonder that how could they communicated when they were together. Harriet's mother said that she met her father on the boat going to Europe, she was coming out of the dining room and when he came out, her threw up on her feet and she thought that he was the best-looking man she would ever seen. The fact that he threw up made her want laugh inside instead of being absolutely furious. It seem funny to me that someone could like the person who was threw up on you.

I agree it is an odd way to meet one's husband!!!

I would like to know how you read. Part of doing this blog is showing your awareness of what you understand and what you don't understand. When you get stuck, what do you do? How did that strategy help/not help you?
