Julie Otsuka Quotes

We Loved Them. We Hated Them. We Wanted To Be Them. How Tall They Were, How Lovely, How Fair. Their Long, Graceful Limbs. Their Bright White Teeth. Their Pale, Luminous Skin, Which Disguised All Seven Blemishes Of The Face. Their Odd But Endearing Ways, Which Ceased To Amuse - Their Love For A.I. Sauce And High, Pointy-toed Shoes, Their Funny, Turned-out Walk, Their Tendency To Gather In Each Other's Parlors In Large, Noisy Groups And Stand Around Talking, All At Once, For Hours. Why, We Wondered, Did It Never Occur To Them To Sit Down? They Seemed So At Home In The World. So At Ease. They Had A Confidence That We Lacked. And Much Better Hair. So Many Colors. And We Regretted That We Could Not Be More Like Them.
