Four (funny) Memories of my Dad

My 5'4" Korean dad is only funny when he's being earnest. Majority of the time, he has the Napoleon complex.

1. In the car, he is driving, going to drop me off at school. Out of the blue, he sneezes the loudest dog bark with icky evidence splattering on the windshield. "Oops, so sorry," he says, while turning on the wipers.

2. Mom is giving dad the silent treatment over a fight for the 3rd day now. She is in bed, boycotting all household duties and meal cooking. He is hungry, ready to move on, and in his "I don't remember why she is like this" mode. He walks into the bedroom, lifts up her blanket and says, "Are the eggs hatched yet?"

3. A new Kohls opened up in our area. Mom asks, "I wonder what kind of store that is." Dad answers, "Don't even bother to shop there. They only sell bathroom faucets."

4. He gave his friend in Korea his email address (missing a letter). His friend calls him on his cell phone to tell him his emails have been bouncing back. My father replies, "Of course, they're going to come back to you, I'm not at home right now and my computer is off."
