Cheesy goodness

We were watching Glenda Chong on Channel NewsAsia earlier tonight -- or at least, some of us were trying to, while someone else channel-hopped -- and Mom mentioned that she (Glenda) looked better with long hair.

"I think she looks good either way," I shrugged, and picked the bones from the fish that I was eating.

"This girl? You think she's good-looking? You call that pretty?!" Dad exclaimed incredulously, while scowling at the TV.

I guess if you know my dad, you'll know this isn't surprising at all. My dad can find bad things to say about anything and anyone, and some days this frustrates me to the point where I have to ask him to keep quiet and speak only if he has something good to say. He usually keeps quiet.

Today, however, I recklessly replied: "She's Glenda Chong! You don't think Glenda Chong is pretty?!"

"I have very high standards, you know?" Dad retorted.

"Yeah," Mom piped up in sudden interest. "That's why he chose me! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"..."

Dad pretended to choke on his food, and I rolled my eyes. There's nothing more cheesy than having your parents make cheesy jokes.

Parents making cheesy jokes are one of the cutest things to watch.

Raymond & Zen|th: Sometimes the line between cute and embarrassing is very thin. ;)

The Hungry Bunny: Cheesy parents also squabble, but you're right, I'd take cheesy over squabbling anytime! :)
