Creative celebrity mix-ups

Posted on February 17, 2009 at 05:14pm

My (Korean) mother has trouble getting celebrity names straight. There are a few that she ALWAYS mixes up, no matter how many times I correct her:

“Bronze Pierce” (Pierce Brosnan)

“Goldie Whoopberg” (Whoopi Goldberg … and when I correct her, she asks “What kind of name is Whoopi?” and proceeds to say it wrong again the next time)

“PeeDiddilly” (P.Diddy)

“Joe Low” (J.Lo)

Well that’s some circumstance

Posted on February 17, 2009 at 05:11pm

My Caucasian dad’s a pastor of an American church. There are no Koreans in the church except my mom. After Bible study, there were prayer requests. My mom raised her hand and gave hers…

“Peas pray po man at work, he goin thru bad circumcisions. He needa our prayers.”

She meant circumstances, NOT circumcision. Imagine my dad’s and my reaction during prayer requests. Let’s just say, it’s quite inappropriate for the Pastor and pastor’s daughter to be laughing during prayer requests.

Me: (after a long day of school) I feel like crap.
Mom: Really? I feel like shrimp.

More messy “fries”

Posted on February 17, 2009 at 04:35pm

Mom calls me asking what I want from In-N-Out Burgers.

Me: Can you get me the animal style fries?

thirty minutes later, mom comes home…

Mom: I asked for the doggy-style fries, but I think they ran out because they just started laughing.
