Dad: Here.
Me: ??
Dad: This is how you need to take pictures. (He drew a layout of how we should stand to take our formal wedding pictures.)
Dad: You only need 8 or 10 pictures. Not to many. Cost too much.

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)
