Adopting Ugly Children

Your father and I have decided to adopt an almost 11 year old girl in Bolivia. I chose an ugly girl since life is more difficult for non-attractive people.
Love,
Mum

Packaging

You know you have immigrant parents when you’re at the store, and they remove the wrapping or open the box to see what’s inside a product. That’s not it though. When they decide to buy it, they leave the one they opened, and take an unopened one to the cashier!

Learning English is Fun Fun Fun Fun

After watching the Rebecca Black – Friday video 20 times yesterday, it still manages to make me laugh. Unfortunately, I wasn’t considering the effect it would have on those around me.
Today I caught my mom singing: ..“friday friday, sunday, monday”..
She said it was a good way to learn english.
