I sent an email to my dad wishing him a happy Father’s Day. He sent a very touching email back. I wish he knew how to spell my name though.

Dear Jennie,

Thank you for your email. You know I love you very very much. More than your brother most of the time. I talk to mom. We think your future is more bright than his. Do not spend too much time on this thing called facebook. Maybe one hour per day.

Love,
you daddy

My sister was talking to my dad about a friend on fb who posted a somewhat offensive note and keeps trying to IM her.

Sister: He’s so annoying–I just ignore him all the time.
Dad: Why don’t you deface him?
Sister: Really?
Dad: Yea! I do it all the time!

*Silence*

Sister: You mean “unfriend” him?
Dad: But it’s FACE-book.

Three offenses in quick succession:

  1. Dad joins Facebook
  2. Dad misspells his own name in his profile
    (Chinese can be bad at plurals, but on their own names?)
  3. 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.”

My dad realized that he had opened up a Facebook account several months ago and decided to reactivate it. He came up to me with a printed version of the email from Facebook and said, “Jas, help me get my Facebook account working.” I agreed and added him as my friend at the end.

Five hours later, I was notified that someone had commented on my Facebook status:

Ken BT at 10:27pm July 13
Hi dear, don’t know how to accept you on facebook. But to me, you are
always accepted, in any shape or form.
Plan something for your b-day & let me know. Love, dad.
