Ba exclaimed as she shuffled in from the other room, watering can in hand.  The old woman was short, yet she stood with a strong, board straight posture, and the girls knew from experience that their grandmother was a bit more spry than she usually liked to appear.  Her wheathered skin was still taut, her brown eyes sharp and quick, adding further evidence to the fact that though their grandmother was very old, she was still very healthy.Ba tilted her head to the side while she set the can down on the table, as if listening, and then she nodded.  "Probably she would want to know why he's not a 'nice Vietnamese boy,'" she decided, using the exasperated tone a child reserves for parroting the naggings of her parent.  Ba patted Stacy fondly on the shoulder, then turned her smile on Lana.  "And she'd want to know why Trac has not found one yet either, hmm?"  One of Ba's ideas to keep the girls mindful of their heritage was to nickname them after the legendary sisters who led a Vietnamese rebellion against China, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi.</blockquote>
