Ah, phone calls with Dad...
Ever since i've had my mail forwarded to my parents house for the summer, i've gotten a lot of random calls from the folks. i'm not living there, but since i'm pretty much a nomad this summer, thought it was easier - little did i know...
Phone call with my dad while stuck in traffic today -
Me: Hello?
Dad: Hey - it's dad. Your credit card bill arrived today and I opened it...
Me: Dad! I told you - i pay all my bills online! You don't need to open my credit card bills!
Dad: Okay - but just so you know the due date is July 8th...
Me: Dad! I paid it already!
Dad: Okay - but i just wanted to make sure you paid it on time, because you get charged fees if you don't.
Me: Dad! I just said I paid it already!
Dad: Okay - so the bill says here...that the total for your bill is $94.80. Okay? And it's due on July 8th.
Me: ...
Dad: So make sure okay?
Me: ...(heavy breathing, fuming)
Dad: Hello?
Me: (sigh) Okay Dad. Thanks for letting me know.
Dad: No problem. Good night.

Hehe! Reminds me of the old days when we were roomies and i'd overhear your phonecalls home. Parents don't know what to obsess about anymore when the kids fly the coop --especially Asian parents! It might help to encourage them to pursue a new hobby or interest to obsess over, or get them a pet!
Or maybe they'll mellow out someday when you have kids. Maybe.
