Mom: "Where you go?"
Husband: "Back to Nashville, I have work tomorrow."
Mom: "Melondie sad now look at her face."
Husband: "I know she always gets sad when I leave."
Mom: "She be okay, you good husband. Smart, work hard, have good baby... You take care your family."
Husband: "Thanks Mom."
Mom: "Not like her, she just talk, talk, talk, how much she miss you all the time. Give me headache."
Me: "Mom it sounds like you like him more than you like me! I don't complain that I miss him! I barely see you when he's gone."
Mom: "I do! I do like him more than you."
Me: "..."
Husband: "Well. I'd better go."
Mom adores my husband as you can tell. She always pokes fun of me when I get sad that he's gone for the week.
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.
