My boyfriend and I came home from college for Chinese New Year to see this waiting for us in the driveway.  My mom says she made it, which most likely means she made my dad build it for her while she stood watching from the window.

Prolly’s Large Head

Posted on February 12, 2010 at 10:07pm

I live in a different state from my family so when my sister was in labor, my mom was texting me from the hospital after my nephew was born and after exclaiming how big/heavy a baby he was, I jokingly typed to my mom:

“Prolly has a big head, that’s why!”

My mom texts me back soon after:

“Who’s ‘Prolly’ ?”

Eating the State

I look into the refrigerator and see a big brown paper bag and ask my mom what’s in it.
Me: What’s in the bag?
Mom: Oranges for Chinese New Year. Did I spell ‘touch’ right? T-O-U-C-H right?
Me: Yeah you spelled ‘touch’ right but you spelled oranges wrong…
Mom: (pronouncing oranges with a chinese accent) Or-an-gee. What’s the right spelling then?
Me: You spelled Oregon. That’s a place!
Mom: OH, HAHAHA. Fix it before your siblings eat all the oranges!!

This is a quote from a Gchat conversation with my mom about my tattoo and what my jichan (grandpa) thinks about it:

you are made to so pretty and beautiful, the tatoo ruin your value. that’s what jicchan think
and only yakuza get tatoo

(Yakuza is the Japanese mafia.)
