texts from my father.

this is my father.

for christmas last year, i gave him an iphone. since then he has provided me with hilarity through texts. his first text?

mr. wang: i love you both. where is the gift from wendy?

now, before the iphone, this was my mr. wang’s phone…

so you can imagine his disbelief in the battery situation with the iphone…

me: how’s the new phone? any problems?

mr. wang: i just feel the battery cannot last over two days.

me: sigh yes, the iphone battery usually does not last over two days. that is already pretty good.

unfortunately my father was only able to use the phone for a month before going to china for a few months. in that time, my mother used the phone. here are her first few texts..

mrs. wang: hi, just found out you still can under us for you health insurance. please let me know your ss# so i can call isurance company to

and a few days later..

mrs. wang: hi i just find out ga tech opened a new one year master program under industry engineering. i am not sue you are interested or not. you ma Look the web site to see the curriculum

me: you don’t have to write “hi” at the beginning of your texts…

and a few days after that..

mrs. wang: don’t forget to cancel you insurance. i’m taking my lunch break. the fries are good. so crispy.

apparently, the fries are really crispy…

around this time, my father came back from china…

mr. wang: are you watching dunk of the year on CBS now. could you do any of those?

me: really? sigh, i cannot.

mr. wang: oh, i already told my coworkers you can do it.

me: really. dad. really.

mr. wang: yea, but you can practice harder, can you?

and now my personal favorite:

me: did you guys have any trouble with the storm last night?

mr. wang: we had no electricity starting at 11:45 pm, did not finish the movie “Gone with the wind.” the movie was from 8:000-12:00 lsat night, so we missed the last 15 minutes. i cannot believe the electiricy was ‘gone with the wind/storm.’ we still no electricity when i left at 8:00 this morning, so i did not shave. btw, i manually open the garage door for your mom. thanks for checking. how about you?

me: what.

that’s all for today. just a small update.  actually, before i go.. the other day, my friend came to my apartment while i was not there and decided it would be funny to wear my clothes…

well, he accidentally left his jacket at my apartment when he left… and well, let’s just say, that jacket kept me warm in the recent chilly spring nights…
