My Dad is a Fob

Wise Words & Love “To The Bone”

Posted on May 11, 2010 at 11:53am

I found out that my ex-boyfriend moved on and is dating someone new. Since it was my first relationship, I felt pretty depressed about the whole situation. I confided in my mom who then told my dad.

In his effort to console me, he sent me an email:

Just had a quick lunch with your Mom as she was doing some banking arrangement for the HK trip.

Learnt that you have had recently upsetting emotions over Gordon.

There is no need for such negative response to Gordon’s situation on his new girl friend “attachment” at all.

I have big reservation towards such behavior as showing off his qickness in such endeavor – such a lowly human quality as to take true love as a running competition for find an attachment.

Jacqueline, you have such good qualities within and without, that you deserve something a lot better, at least someone who really loves you to the bone.

So tell yourself it is just so good to leave that part of your life behind you and bid farewell to Gordon and wish him good luck.

You have some bigger pictures in your future life and at this moment you have no other concerns but your exams!

Dad

Translation: Gordon’s a jerk, you’re awesome.

I love my dad.

My parents are both empty nesters, so there is no reason why they each have their own minivan, but they do. My dad is REALLY into keeping it clean, tuned up…he takes care of his van. This is his latest project to increase the value of his van should he decide to sell it. Notice the ‘fruity’ carpet goes from front to the back of the van, he even meticulously cut out the holes for the chairs to fit perfectly. Here’s to my dad, in all his FOB glory!

Senior Portraits Double As Bathroom Decor

Posted on November 13, 2009 at 05:19pm

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
