My dad sent me an email regarding my packed lunch…

Be careful when you eat the sweet potatoes. Take only small bites. If you wobble too much potatoes in your mouth and try to swallow all in one go, you will choke, cannot breath. :-P

Remember the story of the guy who try to wobble too much cake and die?

Be careful when eating potatoes! J

My dad is your typical asian father — not affectionate on the surface, but always prepared to plan for the important milestones in his daughter’s life: Marriage and career. Here are two very heartwarming (or not, depending on how you see it) attempts to show that he cares. One is a matchmaking email with photos of the lucky lad, and the other a text message where he’s trying to hook me up with a post-grad job.

I wrote an update on my Facebook about returning to school, and my sweet daddy commented this…

Dad: Miss you Sweat Heart, Dad

Me: Miss you too daddy :)

I didn’t have the heart to correct him!

My dad is originally from Afghanistan. His nickname for me is “Lala”. He is a HUGE worry wart, but he is so sweet and means well. (Case in point, he types certain words in “code” so I can know for sure that it’s him talking and that someone else hasn’t stolen his phone and is trying to manipulate me, thus the “LoVe”, “DaD”, and “LaLa”.) These conversations take place over BBM…

Dad: LaLa, Please DO NOT place your date of birth even if it is not a complete one on your FACEBOOK and LINKEDIN. If any one knows your date of birth and one other personal info about you, they are dangerous.

Me: Ok relax

Dad: I am not relaxing and you know that.

The next day…

Dad: Hi LaLa. How are you doing? I am still not relaxing.

Me: I’m good. I had a presentation today and it went well. You’re still not relaxing? You need to take a chill pill!

Dad: I DO NOT have a chill pill!

Dad: Change your BD on both FB and LI!

My dad sent me an article about some recent thefts that occurred in our neighborhood and commented…

“This is the season burgers are most active. You need to be alert about your own safety especially inside and outside of your apartment. Burgers can look like an Innocent student with a backpack..”

My dad pondered during dinner…

“What Chinese zodiac sign do you think Jesus was? I suppose he should be a sheep, but let’s calculate to make sure…”

It turns out, 1 AD is the chicken, 2 BC is the sheep.
