Florida, No Way

Mama Lai is very settled in California and has little plans to move even though two of her three children no longer live there.  Duckie recently took a trip to Florida and found the weather and the housing prices rather agreeable.  She rang Mama Lai to encourage her to looking into moving there in their retirement.  Mama Lai refused:

"Florida?  What??  With all those crocodiles or alligators running around?  Too horrible."

Duckie laughed and said that she hadn't seen one in the week or so that she was there nor have her friends who frequently hide out in Florida in the winter.  Mama Lai said:

"Yeah...right.  Well, all you have to see it is just once, and I run far, far way.  Far away to California!" 

Retirement

Mama Lai went into retirement, but after awhile she got bored.  Mama Lai decided to apply for a volunteer position and the non-profit organization and was really excited that they found a place for her.  Mama Lai called me by video chat and reported:

"Yah!  They said I would work the front desk!  I will answer phones and greet people.  I will be the first face people see when they come.  I will be the face of the organization.  My skin cream must be working!" 

Then Mama Lai pushed her face to the webcam and said:

"See?  What do you think?" 

My Daughter is Awesome!

Mama Lai was on Facebook and saw that one of my friends had posted the following comment to one of my status updates:

Mama Lai called to say she wanted to post an answer to my friend Roxx X'ster's question, but didn't know how to.  This is what Mama Lai wanted to say:

"Yah!!  Of course my daughter is awesome!  She's awesome because she is MY daughter!"

Got you in Beijing!

I was having a gloomy day at the office when I walked to the convenience stand on the ground floor of my building where you'll find me weekly buying gum and yoghurt.  Feeling rebellious and in the need for a pick-me-up I wanted to buy some custard cakes and the sales lady says to me:

"Shouldn't eat cakes.  Will make you fat!  And then what a disappointment you would be to your mother."

And I just have to know Mama Lai, how in the world did you get to my convenience store lady!!

I walked away with some healthy yoghurt instead.  

Facebook Food Stalking

Mama Lai was Facebook stalking me and send me this e-mail:

"I saw your post in facebook. You went to have  hotpot. Are you watching what you eat everyday? Try not to ruin your weight losing goal because of food. Not saying not to have fun time with friends. Just not to eat too much, not oily, no pasta or rice.

Ok, ok....I am nagging again.
Running away really fast...."
