i am, after all, just a backup child
My father harbours extreme dislike for East Asian boybands. He's mostly against the Japanese ones, but he isn't fond of the Korean bands either. He says he's very confused as to the direction they're heading in their lives, so I asked him, "If one of them were your kid, you wouldn't be happy, right."
And then out of golly-jesus-what-the-flip nowhere, my mother says, "The boy with the light hair from 东方神起, I wouldn't mind if he were my son."
I was about to say to her, "SO AFTER YEARS OF TIRELESS PERSUASION YOU FINALLY GOT ANOTHER PHONE EXTENSION, HUH," when she adds, "And that boy with the big nose is nice, too."
...Run, Maru, run.
