I went to go visit my godfather this past weekend for his 60th birthday, and while I was checking email after dinner he pops his head in the room and asks me:
Godfather: Do you want to watch Beyonce’s DVD with me?
me (right now I’m confused because what 60 year old man know about beyonce?): Why do you have Beyonce’s DVD?
Godfather: Because I just bought it
me (by this time I’m laughing): Why did you buy it?
Godfather: Because! I like Beyonce!
me (still laughing): umm….no, I think I’ll pass….
My godbrother tells me about an hour later over facebook that his dad told him that he just watched the best music video of all time.

While I’m away from college, my dad likes to send emails with links about getting more sleep, studying harder, etc. I didn’t expect this.
(Email) Subject: Taiwan talk show about ”The first time”
(Youtube link to a Taiwanese talk show channel)
Hopefully it not only just help you understand more Chinese. It said that a lot of Taiwanese girl did it first time in restroom and out of pressure of their boyfriend.
Love,
Dad

This is my dad about to make a dash to his car on a rainy day. You can get it for your dad at Macy’s, too.

During a trip to California, I was bored and put flowers in my dad’s hair:

I’m currently a Junior in high school, and my dad always stresses the importance of this year. He checked my grades online, and I had a B in two classes (AP US History and AP Calculus BC). When I came home from school, I got this e-mail…

Helen:
Your grade is drop to much, you have excuse for A- , then you will excuse for B- , then C……… It is totally not acceptable in this heavy competition year. Would you please shift your focusing point on the study from other distractions. You have no time to waste and to waste high school time will ruins your future badly. Your mom is the example of a pretty girl of not study hard. You will affect other boys and their parents do not allowed this happen to their kids , if their kids failed you are the first one to be blamed forever as In Chinese say ” Hu Li Jing ” (a fox spirit, a seductive woman). A term that Asian blame a pretty girl who make boy or other family failed.
Your Dad,
Jason

Apparently I’d fallen asleep while chatting with my mum the other night. She was worried that I was stressed and not sleeping/eating well. Dad told me this today, so I tried to assuage him by telling him my sleeping was regular, and that I’d been doing well on the eating front. I told him that for dinner, I had leftover beef noodle soup (牛肉麺) with soba noodles and a cucumber/avocado/grapefruit salad with a grated ginger/ground sesame seeds/ponzu dressing. This was his reply.

I’m studying abroad for law school, so my dad sent this really cute birthday email to me (I turned 24 so it’s also my zodiac year of the ox):
The 24 hearts are our devotions to you
The 24 flowers are our congratulations to you
The 24 little red suns are we feel about you
Some red crabs are just for fun we send you
The 24 cellular phones are the favorite toys of you
The 24 bags are for shopping much needed by you
The 24 red horn mavericks are just you you you …
Happy birthday. Love. -Dm
We skyped later about it and the conversation went something like this:
Dad: Did you like my email?
Me: I thought it was so sweet! Thanks so much! Two questions though. What shopping bags are you talking about? Those are cake slices!
Dad: Oh really?? Hmm…my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be. I must be getting old.
Me: And what’s a red-horned maverick?
Dad: You don’t know what a maverick is? It’s a baby cow!
Me: But those are devil faces, Dad….
Dad: WHAAAT. Those are cow faces with red horns!

Three offenses in quick succession:
- Dad joins Facebook
- Dad misspells his own name in his profile
(Chinese can be bad at plurals, but on their own names?)
- First photo comment, on a picture of my pregnant sister in her newly decorated nursery:
“The nursery is really shapping up, the animal mobile is a great hit, and Audrey you look like carrying a twins.”

I don’t talk to my dad often while I’m in school, but I was panicking about my immense amount of work and, seeking reassurance, had the following text conversation with him:
me: So I should just be able to work all night and get it done, right?
(a minute later)
me: Well?
Dad: I hope so!
(7 minutes later)
Dad: A hole in the ground with water in it.
me: What??
Dad: A well.

HI, Gina,
How is the mattress? If it is still hurts, you need to see a Doctor. You need to get used to the new job. If the work load is too much, you can talk to your manager. Does everyone work that long hours? It should be getting better as it goes. The current heavy load may be
cumulated as people are expecting your arriver. The two years working experience is very important to your career. I will talk to you this weekend. Julie got a new god last night, 6 weeks old. it pees everywhere.
