My mom was so excited when she took me the first time to this Vietnamese night club in Westminster. She goes there often with her friends.

While snacking on some food and waiting for the music to come on…
Mom:This place is soooo good, they play live music, and they even play the rape music.”
Me: What’s rape music Mom?
Mom:You know the dance music, I like dancing to the rape music. We can dance together when the rape music comes on. (she does a little shake in her chair) You will love it.

My mom’s recently become addicted to watching a Chinese drama called Mei Yi Tian Xia (????) and she was commenting on how pretty the new Mainland actress was and how much she resembled a certain American actress:

Mom: That one actress from ????, she looks so much like Blueberry!
A long pause as we interpret what she means.
My sis and I: Who? Wait, do you mean Drew Barrymore?

My mom likes to take notes on pop culture for future reference on whatever is close by, usually the mail. I channel flipped to Harry Potter and she asked me which one it was. I answered and she proceeded to jot it down:
