Korean mama ep.2

Okay, I finally decided to finish my episode of Korean moms in today’s blog. In this entry, I analyzed about Korean moms. I believe some of the entries here will apply to all moms but I’m narrowing the focus only towards “Korean moms”.

When I was in Korea, I rode buses or underground subway for my transportation. One thing I realized about Korean moms is that, anywhere or anytime, there’s always at least one Korean mama reading her bible. NOBODY loves Jesus more than Korean moms; well, maybe besides black moms. And “kee-doh-ha-ja” is ALWAYS the answer to every problem on earth.

Korean moms are very sensitive about their skins. As Amy would say, “In Azia, Bronze is a very agly colour skins.” They would spend so much money on anti-aging face cream or “whitening” cream. They believe in albinos, seriously; they are so obsess with being white. People say Asians are yellow. But in my opinion, when you compare Milin with Kai,,,,,I’ll say Milin is the white one and Kai is the yellow one. (no hard feelings here man.)

Most typical hardcore Asian parents have this in common. They don’t like to see their kids having their “free time”. They would create additional homework for the kids because five hours worth of homework is not nearly enough. No wonder if you think about the word “nerd”, an image of dorky Asian kid with glasses would pop in your head.

Korean moms LOVE to bargain. They would bargain at anything, anywhere, at anytime. If something’s worth 2 dollars, they WILL LOWER the price into 1 dollar or less. They would NEVER buy anything in one stop either. Their motto is to go around every store, looking for the save object for a cheaper price. One of the common phrase you’ll hear most frequently from them is, “Unni/oppa, jom gak ga jo~~”

Korean moms love to pay for dinner when they’re out with a guest. After a peaceful dinner, Korean moms would “go to the bathroom” to pay the check or have a full on argument in middle of the restaurant. While they body tackle and wrestle to get the check away from each other, the kids and the dads would just sit as still as they can keeping their mouth shut.

Did I mention Korean moms love to give you food more than you can possibly eat? It’s called disrespect when you leave one piece of rice in the bowl. They would wrap the food whenever you visit their house for dinner to take it home with you. Even though you decline and don’t want to eat it because it tastes bad, they’ll just think your being modest.

SCREAMING names even though they are 3ft away; either to take out the trash, to answer the phone or to eat dinner. I don’t get why they do that. Your daughter/son’s like RIGHT THERE. One time, while I was walking to the bus station, I could hear Korean mom yelling to his son to take out the trash. WTF?! I’m literally 20ft away from their apartment and I could hear it clearly.

Last but not least, whenever they are stuck, sick, happy, surprised, angry, or whatever, they will always use this two words. “Aigoh” and “Uhmanah”.

You gotta love them!!!!!!!!
