My younger brother is off from high school this week (midwinter recess in NYC), so he slept in. Before I got back from class, my mom called me to say that my younger brother was going out, so she left him a note asking him to call her about his plans for the day—you know how Asian parents are.

Well I looked in his room but didn’t see a note, not in the hallway, nor in the kitchen. He eventually called her, and I eventually found the note.

On the toilet seat cover.

My cousin’s boyfriend was going to sleep over at our house on the couch and when my cousin asked my mom, the conversation went like this:

“Oh ok. On the couch?”
“Yea. Are you sure he can stay?”
“Yea just tell him that he can’t touch… ANYTHING!”

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)

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: 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.
