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.
