My mother sent me an email to warn me about traveling to the Philippines. In addition, I work in telecommunications so my mother had to tell me about some random Nokia news in this email.
Hi:
There are more robbery cases in Philippine, 1 of my Sunnyvale co-worker got robbed and shot, his father died at the spot. Check your belongings frequently, consolidate to 1 or 2 packs.
4 weeks ago a crocodile in Ukraine zoo swallowed a NOKIA cel, people can hear that phone is ringing from his tummy, that poor cracodile doesn’t want to eat, he is really sick so he might have a surgery .
Have fun!

Mom: If a boy tries to kiss you, just punch him!! No hanky panky!!
Me: What if a girl does it??
Mom: Punch harder!! Aiyah!!

Mom: Yeah, so I’ve been going swimming everyday.
Me: Oh cool, are you getting lessons?
Mom: Mmhm, the instructor says I need to practice… flicking, flucking, fucking, fupping…
Me: …flapping, fluttering?
Mom: Ohhh (korean ooooo), uh-huh, fluttering with my legs.

Dear My Mom Is a Fob readers:
We’re so excited to announce that our book is finally being released TOMORROW, January 4!
If you live in New York City, we would love for you to come celebrate with us this week!
On Tuesday, we’ll be throwing a My Mom Is a Fob Book Bash (click through to Facebook event) at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. We’ll kick off the book version of our site over booze and tasty bao from Baohaus. Ring in a beer-filled mother’s day early this year as performers Ed Lin, Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai, and Jennifer 8. Lee share stories of their favorite mother moments. Tickets can be purchased here or at the door.
