My sister was telling my parents about how her relationships with guys never lasted too long because my mom was always overly picky about every guy she brought home. My sister then mentioned how one of her ex-boyfriends was becoming a pharmacist, and my mom’s eyes widened. (Asian moms love the combination of man and medicine).

My dad tried to tell my mom how she “looked down on people” before actually knowing their abilities…by literally translating a Chinese saying:

Dad: You! You doggy eye look people low!

My dad and I were arguing whether his grammar was correct or not. He firmly believes that “do you have a good time?” is an acceptable way of saying “are you having a good time?”

Dad: OK, I will ask my co-workers. You cannot fool me around.
Me: What?
Dad: I had highest English grammar grade in China. Do not unestimate.

When my dad first moved to the states, he was getting drive-thru fast food and said, “Oh? by the way…that’s to go.”
