Wasn't trying to imply anything, but I can see how it did. I typed that out with one hand and my 4yo daughter on my lap, so I was trying to be concise. Looks like all I did was leave out words and illustrate poor grammar.
After I read your post I thought, "sheesh, that could be me" (sans the Vietnamese immigrant part) "or anyone of us". Kind of made me think how our stories could (would?) get spun given the right circumstances. A bit unnerving. Here's to a sane world.
