silly father...

dad called this morning, all excited about some new prospect he has singlehandedly decided to explore for his twenty-some year-old daughter's currently non-existent love life. "he's coming in town next week for a dental school interview!" (typical asian father in this situation, judging by potential of his future profession.) "i'll be picking him up from the airport, and he'll be staying with us. would you like to come home and meet him?"

still half-awake and thrown in a frazzle of trying to get out the door to get to work on time, i smacked my forehead. "daaaaddd!!! have you even met him yet?" i asked. "nope, but he's my friend's son, so i have good feelings about this one." "uh, dad? let's talk about this later, can we? i'm going to work now."

joys of the twenty-somethings. can't dad just let his girl live a little? or actually... should i maybe just play along for kicks and giggles? hmm, it could be fun to see dad's reaction...
