A: They are against foreigners .

Problem: I swear I even walked backwards for a while cause it did n't hurt so bad . I 'll be fine , its just part of the process . I hope someday I look back after I finish a full marathon and think , geez I was being a big baby after that half .

A: They just ran a marathon .

Problem: Chi Hang and anh Do were the children of my uncle Duc 's . The only paternal grandchildren of my paternal grandparents that were born before me . When I started to know things , they 'd already left for Canada , so I actually did n't have to compete for love and attention . I enjoyed being the only " jewel in the eye " of grandpa for 5 straight years ( until my sister was born ) .

Why did the narrator 's grandpa devote so much attention to them ?

A:
They were the only grandchild near grand pa .
