My Mother... Lost In Translation.

This is a Blog about my Mother. She's a first generation Korean here in the states. I swear she still seems to be "fresh off the boat" at times. I often thought she was crazy. Wait. I still do, but I love her dearly. With her sharp tongue she will curse you out in "Kongrish" and for those of you who aren't hip to the game... Well its Korean-Engerish. Here is a little glimpse into my world, and how sometimes our conversations are Lost In Translation.

Mom and I, once again, discuss name ideas for the new baby.

Mom: Melondie-a, why you no want to name baby Sean?

Me: Mom, Sean is a great name, it's just not his name.

Mom: No, not Sean! I say, "SEAN!"

Me: But...

Mom: You know. The sun SEAN so bright-u!

Me: You want us to name him "SHINE."

Mom: Oh, you no like it?

Me: ...

Between my Mom and my Mother In Law, I don't know who comes up with the best of the worst names. Good thing my husband and I can just laugh at their ideas.
