Quality time with Mum and Dad

My parents (and the everyone in the family for that matter) has a habit of saying the darnest things. Having inherited the same gene set it would be unfair to expect any different from me.

*During a conversation over durians*

Me: Hey, you know the competition I'm organising? we already have 50 teams signed-up!

Mum: What teams?!?

Dad: What competition?!?

I let out a huge sigh in defeat

Mum turns 100% of her attention to the durians

Dad: What exactly is your position and involvement in all this?

Me: I'm the vice-president of the club.

Dad: Wow, our son is a Vice-president leh!

Mum: Then how come we are still staying in a 7 room HDB flat?

Dad to me: Yah hor, why leh?

Me: If I continue to be the VP where ever I go, one day I'll get you a place that is so big you will get lost in your own living room!

Mum and Dad stops eating for a minute to prevent themselves from choking on durian.

Dad: No need so big, buy me a unit from Sentosa can le.

Me: You want the condo or the island?
