I’m graduating this year, so I sent my parents an email asking them how many copies of my senior portrait they would like. My dad replies a few hours later…

I just spoke with Mom on this. Contrary to what you had discussed, we would now like to order two large prints (to be rpiudly displayed in my office and our toilet at home).

No stinge on the cost!

Love,
Dad

I was in a car accident this past weekend while driving to Philadelphia. My parents drove up from Baltimore to pick my friends and me up from the hospital and drive us back to school in Pittsburgh. They drove home afterward and this is the email I got from my dad the next morning:

Today, you mom said servral time to me. she said “she should stay with you last night to help you got it out of bad dream… ” well How can I said . because she is a Mom. as you know, she also has worry about your brother, a still unmatured boy to stay home alone first time. try to understand your Mom.

I only can said to her. “Cindy is smart and strong girl, she will be put the bad dream shorter and come back a health daughter. ”

Cindy, You don’t have to  worry anything, since it happened. Mom and Dad will take everything. We so happy to see there is nothing to happen to yourself, We see a good health daughter. You are our infinited trasure and happiness. rather other.

This is a conversation I recently had with my dad over dinner on my most recent visit home:

Me: Appa, do you like my new tattoo? (Flashes my dad the inside of my right wrist which reads a nickname that he always calls me)
Dad: (In thick Korean accent) Oh, yes, Sarah! Your daddy is-a soooo awesome! All your friends like that one?
Me: Yeah, they do. I’m thinking about getting another one, actually…
Dad: I have perfect tattoo for you, Sarah. You should get tattoo that says, “In Search of Handsome Boy to Marry” riiiiiight here! (Points to forehead and breaks into hysterical laughter)
