My father in law called me today, on accident. He always calls my cell phone by accident when trying to reach my husband. This is our conversation:
Him: How baby doing? (Try to imagine a very thick Chinese accent)
Me: She’s great!
Him: Good! She no have hair huh? *chuckle chuckle* (Still imagining the Chinese accent?)
Me: Yeah *laugh* It’s growing in a lot more now though!
Him: Oooh *chuckle* She look better with hair, ya know (Are you laughing yet?)
The brutal honesty of their culture can either totally hurt your feelings or make you laugh hysterically. It never hurts my feelings because I just know how they are. The funnier part is that my husband already had this EXACT same conversation with him last time he talked to him, which wasn’t too long ago. So now we are wondering if they think she is going to grow up bald LOL!
By the way, I just wanted to point out that my husband was born and raised in the U.S. and (thankfully) didn’t inherit some of the more blatant aspects of the Chinese culture. Oh and I love my in-laws.. Just thought this was pretty hilarious!
Love it!
I absolutely love when Chinese people talk to me.. some of the things they say are beyond hilarious!
