Shoutout to the time when my mum and dad just moved to the uk and she had a patient who was spewing bullshit and her coworker said ‘oh he’s speaking jibberish’ and my mum (who learnt English from a Dutch guy and shit cartoons basically) replies ‘oh sorry I don’t speak that language’ so sincerely. Like fuck yes girl you’re so right
#immigrant parents have the best fucking stories ngl#but you never know how serious the story will be until it’s too late#like it’s either ‘oh we told your dad that the word for squirrel was the word for bench and he believed us for 3 years#or ‘oh yea your uncle dropped out of school and became a squatter and then got arrested for throwing stones at police at 16’#or ‘oh yea your great aunt works for the secret service lmao’#and every single time you’re just left flabbergasted#also me and my best friend both have had our uncles in jail at some point in our lives and i just think that’s crazy
