I called my dad today just to check in and see how things were going at home.
Dad: Did you finish study for today?
Me: Yes.
Dad: So, now, you must be reading.
Me: Yes, I am.
Dad: Good. Are you resting?
Me: Soon.
Dad: Good, good. Did you eat?
Me: Yes.
Dad: What did you eat?
Me: I don't know, I just ate some cereal.
Dad: Cereal?! Cereal is morning food, you know?
Me: I know.
Dad: Why you only eat cereal? No money?
Me: No, I'm fine. I just ate cereal. It's fine.
Dad: You have no money? Cereal no good. Only in the morning. Go buy spaghetti and make spaghetti.
Me: Okay. I will.
So I get off the phone with him and go about my stuff and four minutes later my phone rings, and it's my mom.
Me: Hello?
Mom: Miliam! Why you only eat cereal?!
Me: What?
Mom: Daddy says you only eating cereal.
Me: (Grrr.) Yeah, I ate cereal tonight.
Mom: Why you only eat cereal? No good for you. You have no money?
Me: No, I'm fine.
Mom: Then why you only eat cereal at dinner time? That is morning time food.
Me: I just didn't have time, that's all. It's not a big deal.
Mom: Really? You not lying to mommy?
Me: I'm not lying. I just didn't have time. That's all.
Mom: Okay. Next time, don't eat cereal. That is morning food.
Me: Okay. I won't.
Mom: You need money, you tell mommy.
Me: Okay.
Who knew my parents felt so strongly about cereal?!

so so cute! i love your parents! i once ate lucky charms for breakfast lunch and dinner for a whole week... don't do it... cereal for dinner is sometimes ok... i understand :)
haha. I know I will always love a good Oh-Parent story.
hey, do your parents read your blog?
I love cereal, and I think that it is a perfectly acceptable meal any time of the day!
just don't start eating your cereal with chocolate milk. i have been informed by my coworkers that it is disgusting and, according to one, illegal.
they don't care about cereal. they care about moh!!
That is awesome!
i liked "milliam" the best.
LOL! I think I have had similar conversations with my Dad. Korean parents are comedy!
Will you please-o-pretty please post this on that "my mom is a fob" site? Please?
