Dad Says to Own the Curve

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 16:32:50 +0000

Today, I got a 78 out of 70 on my math test. It was originally out of 70, but
my teacher curved the grade. I was so excited to tell my parents that I had
gotten more than 100 percent!! But when I got home and relayed the information
to my dad, he said in Chinese, “That’s it? Why couldn’t you get an 80 out
of 70??” He was serious.

Parental Fear

Today, I got a 70 Math average.(I’m asian) My parents gave me a lecture about
how they think I’ll fail at life and work as a coolie for the rest of my life.
It’s only the first month of the semester and I’m in Grade 9.

Today, I got my report card back. I told my dad I got an A+ in French (which I
did). He said, “yeah, that’s pretty good.”

He Really Meant a “Better Grade”

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:51:33 +0000

Today I was doing my homework and went onto my iTunes to change the song. My dad
came in, seeing an iTunes window open, and proceeded to lecture me about how I
should focus on my homework and how they moved to America so I could have a
“better life.”

You Missed 1%? Where did it go?

Today, I got back a science test that I scored a 99 on. When I showed it to my
dad, he asked me where the other point went.

Five Star Treatment at Home

This past weekend, I was at the Hyatt Hotel with my father for an
aspiring-engineers-type presentation. Today at the dinner table, I see a stack
of napkins labeled “Hyatt.”

Dad!! That Defeats the Purpose for Speaking Another Language!

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:20:08 +0000

Today, my dad asked me, “Do you need to go pee pee or poo poo?”; but
in Vietnamese. Now this wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t say the entire sentence
in Vietnamese, except “pee pee or poo poo”;. It’s even worse because
he’s always getting on my nuts for not speaking Vietnamese to me him. What’s
even worse than that is that I’m 14 and he said this loudly in the middle of
Walmart.

Bad Dog! Bad, Possibly Tasty Dog!

Me and my dad were biking one day and a dog started chasing us. My dad yelled to
the dog, “Go away, or I’ll eat you!”
