Whenever my friend and his family visits American restaurants, they only order hamburgers because that’s the only food they know how to order in English. However, they’ve always desperately wanted to try eating an American steak, so one night at a Sizzlers, my friend’s dad wanted to be adventurous and try ordering a steak (remember, he doesn’t know ANY English)…
Waitress: Hi guys, have you guys decided what you want?
Dad: Steak.
Waitress: Okay, how do you want that cooked?
Dad: …Steak.
Waitress: Right, okay, so how do you want it? Rare, medium, well done?
Dad: Yes.
Waitress: Yeah I know… umm, do you want it pink? Red? What color?
(Dad puts his head down in shame)
Dad: …Hamburger…

While talking to my dad on the phone, I decided to ask him if I could go on a trip…
Me: Dad, can I go to Korea?
Dad: When?
Me: Whenever.
Dad: Okay, I’ll pay for roundtrip ticket right now if you go and never come back until you find a husband.

My parents emailed me to wish me merry christmas, and I replied in reciprocation as well as to ask about my puppy that they are watching over. Here’s his reply:
Hi Kaun,
We are happy to hear that you are happy. Yesterday, we were all at Doug’s grand parents’ house for a Christmas celebration. Yes, Baily always follows me everywhere I go in the house. He likes to bring his rope for me and Mom to play with him. Whever he sees me put my tennis shoes on, he is getting excited immediately and he knows I will be taking him out. I takes him out 3 or 4 times a day. We have 16″ snow here and it’s very cold ( freezing). I still take him outside for a long walk, even at 11 pm. Sometimes bc it’s was still raining in the morning, I let him pi and poub on the snow on the deck twice. He is with me and Mom now in the study room. We miss you, Kaun.
Love,
Dad

My dad always sends me these emails that can be described as broken English (although my dad doesn’t actually speak like this…) and he always signs his emails with his name, instead of something like “dad.”

After this email, we exchanged some information. I told him that I wanted this chapstick that I was only able to find in Taiwan. I told him I wanted 2. In the morning I woke up and saw this email:

Thanks dad. That’s US$6!! This isn’t the first time he’s asked me for money either… for my mother’s birthday I asked him to buy her flowers and we’d split the cost.
I called my mom and asked her if she got flowers. My dad, often being “economical” (or the nice way of saying cheap)… My mom says “he got me carnations.” Then in the background I hear my dad yell “you owe me $2.50!”

When I tried to convince my dad that I should study abroad in Ireland, his response was pretty convincing:
Dear Chichi,
Me and Mama don’t want you to go to Ireland. We know that study in Europe is good choice but we know that Ireland is still bad. Mama told me that you could become bad girl and get tattoo. You know that since Char (older sister) got one, we are much more understanding; however, we do not want you to get one. Please skpe before you get one.
Love,
Baba and Mama

I’m taking AP biology and we’re learning about genetic recombinations in bacteria. One way that bacteria can achieve genetic diversity is conjugation, or “bacteria sex.” The are joined by a sex pilli. My dad walks into my room and it just happened that I was looking at my teacher’s conjugation slide that included the word sex pilli. My dad takes a quick glimpse and exclaims:
dad: “WHA! SEX? WHAT IS THIS?”
me: “dad, this is AP bio, the word sex does come up.”

This was the conversation my dad and I had when I went to Cancun for spring break one year.
Me: Dad, I’m going to Cancun for spring break.
Dad: Will you be drinking?
Me: Yes
Dad: ok don’t drink too much because if you drink too much you’ll be a bad girl and bad girls end up on girls gone wild.
