Outside Furniture Inside

Mama Lai and Papa Lai bicker as old married couples do.  One day, on a whim, Papa Lai went and bought a patio chair.  Only, instead of putting it on their patio, Papa Lai decided that it should be the office chair for the family computer.  Papa Lai wanted Mama Lai's opinion, which he almost regretted upon asking:

"That is a patio chair.  It is an outside chair inside my house!  It is a chair meant to be sitting comfortable outside."

Papa Lai countered:

"That is why I bought it!  It is comfortable.  Why can I only be comfortable outside?  I want to be comfortable inside too!"

 

Saving Face

I have the Asian curse.  So not only do I turn abominably bright red when I consume alcohol, I have a frightening compulsion to take pictures of...everything.  I drove home to spend the holidays with my parents and decided to snap some photos on my 6-hour rainy drive with my smartphone and then post them on Facebook.  When I arrived home, Mama Lai welcomed me with:

"What is wrong with you???  Are you driving and taking photos at the same time.  Geez.  And not only do you do stupid thing, you post it in public so everyone can see what an idiot you are."
