When I tried to convince my dad that I should study abroad in Ireland, his response was pretty convincing:

Dear Chichi,

Me and Mama don’t want you to go to Ireland. We know that study in Europe is good choice but we know that Ireland is still bad. Mama told me that you could become bad girl and get tattoo. You know that since Char (older sister) got one, we are much more understanding; however, we do not want you to get one. Please skpe before you get one.

Love,
Baba and Mama

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)
