time for you to go home, friend of my child...

I had a friend over for dinner when my parents were visiting.  We had a nice meal & good banter - everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Then the clock struck 10pm and my Dad kind of says, "under his breath" in Chinese, time for your friend to go home.  I heard him loud and clear, but I wanted him to say it again... because afterall, I was 26 (at the time), and have been living away from home for 10 years.  I also wanted my friend to hear.

My Dad has no qualms repeating it, so I gave my friend this look, and said - "OK, let's go!", to respect my Dad's wishes.

I understand he wants me to "sleep early" because I had work the next day, but still... I will dismiss my friends when I please...
