Let's hear it

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 Tony-isms

I should be asleep but I can't resist! My dad has been particularly nonsensical of late.



Incident #1

Dad: Eh you're 17 already! Time to watch The Exorcist!
Jo: DON'T WANT
Me: Siao ah! 17 means watch The Exorcist?! (Seriously which dad thinks coming of age -->watching horror films?)
Dad: (dreamily) I was your age when I watched it and they had to station St John's ambulances outside the cinema...

I think we heard that story more than a dozen times.

#2

Dad: (wanders into the study randomly) Eh how come you're listening to Michael Jackson so much now?? SO gay! He's gay!
Me: ...

#3

Dad: (yells from his room) The room temperature is 27 degrees today! So cooling hor.
(about 2 hours later)
Dad: Eh Elaine, it's 27 degrees today. Nice weather yah?
(at 6pm when he fetched my mom home)
Dad: (speaking in hokkien) Waaahh today's weather is 27 degrees leh. Shiok.

Ok, Daddy, i get that you adore our new aircons/room thermometer.

Love my old man. He and my mom are super cute sometimes.
