Lying Daughter

I overheard Mama Lai telling one of my friends:

"I think my daughter lies to me about the food she is eating.  I think she eats chocolate and everything she takes photos of on Facebook."

Make-up

Mama Lai was browsing through my photos from a recent trip I took while on the phone with me.  I tried to describe to her where I was, what I was doing, but Mama Lai was concentrated on:

"You don't wear make-up anymore?  Did you not bring hairbrush on trip?"

Reverse Hearing

I returned from vacation and my work colleagues commented I lost weight.  Surprised since I had a great time eating out, I relayed these comments to Mama Lai who said:

"HAHAHA.  Really?  Are you sure they are not saying opposite?"

Emoticon Fail

Duckie and Mama Lai were exchanging text messages:

Duckie:       hi.  maybe i should get u and daddy a hotel in the easy bay

Mama Lai:   no, we prefer  our own bed.  but, love you for your consideration!  i cant make the smiling face

No Sense Killings

Mama Lai loves to watch television.  For the mid-season line-up, she's especially excited about "Alcatraz" and "Smash".  While we were video chatting she interrupted me to leave to watch TV:

"I saw the pilot of Alcatraz, yeah.  And now in five minutes, I see the number 2.  So basically every episode some people have to die.  You know me.  I like those shows where there are no-sense  killings.  Yeah."

Wal-Mart Beauty

Mama Lai and I were discussing Duckie's recent trip to Portugal.  Mama Lai had taken notice of the people in the background of Duckie's pictures.  Based on those photos, Mama Lai concluded that the people of Portugal were "not a beautiful people".  Mama Lai batted her lashes at me over webcam and said:

"They can't compare to California people.  We are known for are beauty and are healthy, beautiful, attractive, well-muscled people.  It's true!  You know your [Papa Lai] goes to Texas, and I've been to Iowa and you stand out on any normal street corner.  Different landscape.  Different looking.  California are a good looking people."

But then Mama Lai paused and thought:

"But you know if you go to Wal-mart, it doesn't matter what State you're in.  The people are not so beautiful, not too attractive.  Hahaha...like me!"

 

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas

Mama Lai sent me and Duckie this e-mail holiday greeting and I thought I'd share it with you all.

Merry Christmas!
