Dear Spike:
Today we met your new Mandarin tutor, Xinling. Already you seem to have become fast friends.
She was impressed with your vocabulary — both English and Chinese — but was rather unimpressed with the way your mother and I have been beating up her native language. You, on the other hand, seem to have weathered our linguistic incompetence. Xinling told us there's nothing wrong with your accent that a little shutting up on our part won't fix.
You'll start your lessons together on Wednesday.
I figure you should be ready to jet off to Beijing by Friday or so.
I'm proud of you, my little panda.
Love,
dad

You two are amazing. What a great idea to get a tutor. But now, for sure you will not be able to keep up with her.
Love,
Gaky
I think you two might possibly be the best parents on the planet!
