Let's give a hand to parents and the challenges they face raising us, with derps along the way.
A few nights ago, I was watching "Person of Interest" with my dad and one of the characters talked about burying an empty coffin... Again, the conversation is in Chinese, and my parents' English is rather limited.
Dad: So does "bury" mean something like barely?
Me: Uh, no! It means something entirely different!
Dad: So what does it mean?
Me: ... You mean you didn't get it when she said "coffin" in that whole sentence?
Dad: Nope.
Mom: Doesn't "bury" mean like those people who wear very little clothes?
Me: What? Oh my gosh, no! O_O
Dad: But I always hear Don saying something like "bury able" or something like that."
Me: No no, that's "barely," not "bury!" O_O'
Dad: Oh... I don't get it.
The most awkward part of all is the fact that they had just attended a funeral earlier that week.
Thank you Mom and Dad for making me rage and laugh all at the same time. :thumbup:
