Thursday, August 24, 2006 - Best. Conversation. Ever. Random fun involving parents: John Mellencamp’s ”Jack and Diane” playing on my computer. My Dad: I like this song! (This from someone who doesn’t know Elvis and only listens to 70s – 80s Chinese music, the music played in their youth. To their credit, they have heard about the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and ABBA.) ---- Me telling my parents about a Chinese friend who now has a boyfriend, but doesn’t seem to be too serious about it. My Mom: “You can’t change boyfriends all the time!” Me raising an eyebrow – “..?” My Dad: “Yeah, Chinese guys could murder you if you break up with them. And Chinese girlfriends can commit suicide over guys.” My eyebrow remaining raised. Me: “Uh... I’m not really into Chinese guys.” My Dad: “Why not? Most of them are very nice.” My Mom: “You have such high demands! I’m sure Grandma will talk to you about this.” (My Grandma has, in fact, already talked to me about this on the phone. "Your demands are too high! You only want smart people!" Hmm. That sounds familiar..) This is a conversation that could only happen in my family. In short, my parents are awesome =D |
I had wondered if your mom deliberately phrased her question to me on "which side" of you I like the most ambiguously to catch me off guard. but I'm beginning to see that's probably not the case.
And are these constant references to your high standards of intelligent men a poke at your dad, perhaps?
And about Asian men: remember, you never thought you'd end up going out with an American and I never thought I'd end up going to Sweden and falling for a Chinese girl.
haha, yesterday he spent an hour watching Chinese kids' shows laughing his butt off. And re: Asian men, I'm sure they're nice, but there's something about the risk of being murdered by them that turns me off. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
China must be the only place in the world where one can be sure the men are nice yet be reasonably sure they'll murder you.
And be honest now, you secretly thought Americans were murderous too. Oh, wait, that was everyone else BUT you.
what do you mean "thought"..? =P
