i haven't seen my parents in 10 months, we live about 6000 miles apart. it was great to see them, but some things never change. as soon as i picked them up at the airport this is what they said:
mom: you're so freckly and dark.
dad: when did you last clean your truck? it's so dirty.
here are a few more things they said or did in the past 2 days they've been visiting:
my mom was teaching me how to separate bulk meats when freezing.
they both also reminded me to finish foods before the expiration dates.
i'm nearly 27, mind you, and have lived away from home for 10 years.
my dad said he wants clean my truck cuz it's so filthy... so so filthy were his words, with a sigh of grief, in chinese
my mom asked me how to cook a squash grown on the islands. i told her to cook it the same way as this chinese fuzzy melon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_melon)... but she insisted on me giving her exact advice. i told her, but, yet she did it her way in the end.
my mom complained 4 times while she was cooking ground beef how fatty it was. FOUR times in a span of an hour.
