My dad is originally from Afghanistan. His nickname for me is “Lala”. He is a HUGE worry wart, but he is so sweet and means well. (Case in point, he types certain words in “code” so I can know for sure that it’s him talking and that someone else hasn’t stolen his phone and is trying to manipulate me, thus the “LoVe”, “DaD”, and “LaLa”.) These conversations take place over BBM…

Dad: LaLa, Please DO NOT place your date of birth even if it is not a complete one on your FACEBOOK and LINKEDIN. If any one knows your date of birth and one other personal info about you, they are dangerous.

Me: Ok relax

Dad: I am not relaxing and you know that.

The next day…

Dad: Hi LaLa. How are you doing? I am still not relaxing.

Me: I’m good. I had a presentation today and it went well. You’re still not relaxing? You need to take a chill pill!

Dad: I DO NOT have a chill pill!

Dad: Change your BD on both FB and LI!

My dad sent me an article about some recent thefts that occurred in our neighborhood and commented…

“This is the season burgers are most active. You need to be alert about your own safety especially inside and outside of your apartment. Burgers can look like an Innocent student with a backpack..”

My dad pondered during dinner…

“What Chinese zodiac sign do you think Jesus was? I suppose he should be a sheep, but let’s calculate to make sure…”

It turns out, 1 AD is the chicken, 2 BC is the sheep.

I was typing to my uncle over Skype, and we were saying goodbye. He wanted to throw in some Italian…

Me: Goodbye! Talk to you soon!
Uncle: Chaos.

He meant ciao.

From my lovable, fobby uncle…

Dear friends and family members:
Tell you a great news. My cellular phone jumped into swimming pool with me and refused to talk to me any longer. So please note that I have a new number [#]. My landline is still the same.
Take care.

Dad reading a Yellowstone brochure…

“There’s elk, bears, bobcats, …, and plus more. What’s a Plusmore?”

later…

“The reptile garden has over 5,000 types of birds, snakes, and frogs. Hmm…I’ve probably eaten most of those.”

Me: I like Italian food
Dad: There is too much Farmer John cheese in Italian food
Me: What’s Farmer John cheese? I think they only make breakfast meats
Dad: You know, Farmer John!
Mom: He means Parmesan cheese
