My Dad’s English is pretty good and his emails are a lot more coherent than my mother’s, which is why this one was so funny. I guess his eyes weren’t doing so well when he was checking our credit card statements.
Ali,
You have a charge on April 10, $24.95 for YAHOO*FUCKR PRO. Is this legitimate and what is it for? It sounds rude.
Dad
My reply:
Yes… I bought another year of Flickr. Read it closer, it should say Flickr, not Fuckr.
Ali
What’s even funnier is that my sister works for Yahoo and we all have FlickrPro accounts to stay in touch.

My friends and I run a blog about poor college students, and we recently received our first check in the mail from ads. I also kept a blog last summer about doing work in Ghana for Engineers Without Borders (ewb), for which I don’t get any money.
Below is my dad’s response when I told him about our first paycheck:
good buiness.
tell me your POOR student website.
did the company pay for your ghana ewb webiste?
i will crick it everyday if they give you the advertisement money.

I subscribe to failblog on my google reader. My dad found out. He sent me an email saying this:
FAILBlog is a site that you should not pay attention to. There are enough healthy sites where you can “kill” your time. Please remove FAILBlog from your subscriptions and do not ever visit this site again!

After my Bangladeshi father found out I had a boyfriend of two years, he emailed me the following…
I wrote the following on september after hearing you illicit relation but did not mailed because I have thought that you are intelegent enough to choose yourself what is good for you and your family.
Mamy:
How are you.
Bye the way After your broke up other guys who knew your previous one probably try to lure you for “dateing” so be careful. You should not close with those women who do casual dating. Never do that again. There is a proverb If you are in sandy beech send will be all over your body and so does it blacken you if you are in a coalmine. Environment do change peoples and their behaviour. So We need to chose right environment.
In indean culture boys get pride and get way with it by luring so called easy girl in dating. I cannot even think about my daughter is a easy prey. I thought that I show you a moral example by my own personal character so does your mom. It never be a cool idea in my socal and family background. It should never be yours.
You arer mature now never involve in a relation where ” so called date game involve” It will be very bad for your future relation with a serious person who like to start a family from our social background. After all I serious person will not like to have a relation with so called easy type women or men. I would never so Does you or your brother. After all I want you have family and so does you.
We are here in washington, DC. Why you are lonely that you need some one for closeness I do not under stand. If you can not decipline yourself than what is the difference between you and all those people who went wrong way in getos. I got married when I was in almost thirty years old, your mammy was 23. Respect me. Respect your mother and respect yourself Please!
I am feeling very sad and sorry I have to send an e-mail writing these. You have to find out what is good for you. Never do mistake one after another. Most of these Indean friends will be lost after your college graduation. That happens to Imon
Any way Be careful take care yourself do not ruin your life.
With love,
Baba

My dad tagged along on a day trip to the beach with a friend. While in the water, he started splashing random strangers. He is also a big fan of Napoleon. (Bonaparte as opposed to Dynamite, who I do respect as my daddy). This was one of the first emails I received from him:
Yesterday i had tel. conversation she went to day care today keun appa come. he will back to Conn on Sat. morning. You may call him “say hello”. Halmuni said you ask her about keun appa how he is. Halmuni was happy she said Julia is very good heart.
Julia ! i heard your presentation was successful. It is greateful. Hoping that you respect Napoleon as your daddy. His life was always challenge. “No impossible in my dictionary”. If you have chance, read book about him.
Julia ! why you told mom i made trouble in Long beach. Appa call you big mouth. Halmuni said Julia will come home this weekend. I think she want to see you every week and bring to her Bon Juk.
Read bible continusely it is very important for your life. BB ! see you
