My Dad is a Fob

Hi, don’t I look happy?

My dad sent me a photo of him on vacation in Venice, Italy… The photo was taken by my mom… who’s a little technologically challenged…

You turned out wonderful, but you could be even better!

Every year, the best part of my birthday is the card my parents send me.

Trophy shot

My dad is very proud of his annual Christmas lights display. One year he asked my mom to take a picture. This is the subsequent photo that she posted on the family blog.

Dad, your standards are too high.

One of my friends’ friends sent this to me: it’s an email her dad sent her giving feedback on several “biodata” pics she emailed him upon request (for Indian dating sites). And not to justify anything…but this is in reference to a really really attractive friend of mine…the rest of us are toast.

DEAR, THE FIRST PHOTO IS NOT AT ALL GOOD – YOU LOOK DARK, AND FAT.  YOU HAVE TO REDUCE YOUR SIZE.  EXERCISE WELL AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER(PURE WATER, NO JUICE OR ANY SUGARY THINGS).  THE SECOND PHOTO IS GOOD, BUT YOU LOOK FAT.  WE NEED BETTER PHOTOS – MAY BE FULL SIZE AND HALF-SIZE.  THE CLOTH COMBINATION MAY HELP IN REDUCED SIZE APPEARANCE.  I WILL SHOW THIS TO MOM AND SHE WILL CALL YOU THIS WEEKEND.

Ten-year-old mischief

My dad loves all kinds of animal and won’t even kill a roach. We were at an outdoor dog show one weekend. He looked around, played with dogs then said with a big grin on his face:

“Wonder what would happen if I drop a cat in the middle of the field…”

Pimps and fools

(at a party)
Dad: I see you have a fool in your house.
Hosts: W..what?!
Dad: You know…a fool. In your backyard!

He was talking about their pool.

Dad: I saw a pimp in the air today!
My friend: A pimp..?
Dad: Yeah, a pimp! It was flying around! (makes hand gestures)

He meant a blimp.

My dad at the happiest place on earth!

I live in Canada…whenever I get sick, my dad always tells me to wear these masks to school.

Stepping outside of the greenhouse

A conversation about college tuition

ME: okay well I will apply for financial aid next year.
DAD: Good, I tell you why.
No 1. this supports your family.
No. 2. It puts pressure on you.
No.3 Once you have pressure, you will have no choice but to do well and come out strong.
ME: okay
DAD: Family money spoil you and turn you in to a good for nothing. Trees grow strong in rough weather, not in greenhouse.
ME: …okay.

Nice one, Dad.

I was texting my dad about the riot/protest that occured at my university last week…

Me: Did you hear about the NYU protest!
Dad: No, is it about Obama?
Me: NYU budget transparency and such. Topless protesters and all!
Dad: Sound exciting. Why topless? Animal right? Haha!
Me: “Exposure for disclosure.”
Dad: What a motto! Bill clinton knows it well. Got 2 go. Talk later.
