Woke up to this note taped on my laptop this morning. It reads:
“Mett, You need to walk dog for bowel movement this morning.”

I told my mom that I was going to see the big Giants parade. On my bike because transportation is terrible and the weather’s been nice.
This morning, in addition to the too much food breakfast she always prepares and I only eat a bit of out of guilt^filial piety, I get this heartfelt note:
Here is the original text:
?????????? ?> ??deep zipper??
better leave bike at office while in Civic Center no room for bike too many ?
????bandage.
???????????????
Camera ???????
Dad ???
?!
And the rough Chinglish translation:
You *must* wear a helmet and long pants -> they must have deep zipper zipper (yes, she wrote zipper in Chinese AND English)
better leave bike at office while in Civic Center no room for bike too many people.
Bring a bottle of water and bandages (pictured)
You must be absolutely careful. Be safe from pickpockets, put your wallet away.
Hold onto your Camera when taking a picture.
Dad wants you to be safe, too!

Here is the cake in all its wonder:

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.

My mom was packing some of my old things into boxes. We got the boxes from the grocery store. This one originally contained some kind of “bagged” food. It now contains fragile items, I think.
