While my friends are over and my mom’s not around, my dad reads through the shopping list before heading out. He shouts from the kitchen:

“What’s this? What’s P-A-D-S? Why got wings? What always?”

My Dad is a Philosopher

I’ve been struggling with a few aspects in my life, and recently my Dad has been reaching out to bridge the cultural/generation gap. He started to learn how to text and I received a text that read exactly:

“U mom get job anne u is my hope what even do not worry keep happy everydays keep eye on he farway what even u want i am support”

Another night, my dad saw me walking to my car at midnight and thought I was sneaking out when I was only trying to get baseball tickets from a friend. He decided to come with me and then shared his philosophy on life:

“Bitter first, sweet later. Cannot run away!”

I love my dad!

My dad’s English is pretty good, but sometimes he just says things and you are like whaaaaaat? The other day, he was talking to my sister in-law on the phone, who recently got into Harvard for graduate school. This was my dad’s reaction:

Dad, “So I heard you got into Harvard for graduate school, that is very….uhhh…. adequate.”

Disregard for Brand Names

I called my Dad to wish him Happy Birthday. It turns out my parents were out shopping at the outlets.

He said, “I’m in the car waiting. You know your Mom. Always shopping. First for handbags at the Dooney Dooney. Then Coach something. Coach First Class, whatever.”

Bad Bride?

We asked our parents to officiate at our wedding. When it was my father-in-law’s turn to speak, he looked around proudly and recited…

“Who takes this broad to be his lawfully wedded wife?”
