My mom was acting like any parent does and completely misunderstanding exactly what colleges look for in student applications. And then this was brought up...
Translated from Chinese.
Mom: Do you have any teachers that could recommend you for colleges?
Me: ...
Mom: Ooh! Your Japanese teacher!
Me: /shakes head no.
Mom: Why not?
Me: She can't speak English.
Mom: ...Huh? But... Doesn't she teach--
Me: She doesn't teach anything.
Mom: But... I spoke with her that one time and we understood each other fine!
Me: That's because YOU can't speak English [either].
Mom: [looking appalled]
oh what a life I live. /bitter
