Funny Story

MANY times, I have been mistaken as the Mother of my baby twin brothers or the children I'm watching.

However, sometimes, it gets rather annoying. I have gotten rude stares, points and whispers by people at the mall, Wal-Mart, etc. Many of these inconsiderate people are mothers whispering and pointing me out to their teenage daughters. I wonder if they are saying, "Look at her! A young teenager with a child and probably not married!"

I've also gotten some rude remarks, such as:

"Aren't you a bit young to be having a baby?"

One woman was rude enough to ask me if I planned to marry the Father of the child.

That would be a bit disturbing woulndt it.

I myself have only been mistaken a few times for someone's husband (and thats only cause we were hanging out together and she was getting some shopping done). Though people say I am good with kids.

With me, most of the mistakes are with mistaken ages; people think that my Dad's my grandpa, my Mum's my sister, and my older brother is my boyfriend

. It's the most awkward thing when people ask my Dad, "Oh, is that your son's girlfriend?" and my Dad says, "No, that's his sister."

...I think myself and my bro hang out to much

Since I resemble my brother somewhat, and yes we are Asian

, people think he's my kid.

One lady on an airplane turned around and said, "Aw! He's so cute, how old is your son?"

I didn't bother to correct her since I was tired and I just said, "Oh, he's 4."

All Asians resemble each other, even when they don't!

All Asians look the same, since we're from Asia.... duh.

Especially when they're from entirely separate families.

It's true. Then there's the Chinese that look Japanese (sp?) and the Asians that look sort of Vietnamese (sp?)...I get them mixed up and then they all get mad at me.

haha...my roommate had something like this happen with her family...I can't remember exactly, but it was something like her brother was married to her mom, and her dad was the grandpa...it was pretty wacko.

There are many people who have known my mom for years and cannot tell her and my sister apart. People will call them by each other's names, and one person said that looking at one is like looking at the other. Some people have thought they were twins.

It's very amusing (to me), because people will call my mom by my sister's name even after she corrects them, and most of the time now she doesn't correct them. And there is only a slight resemblance between them, my mom being 25 or so years older than my sister.

And sometimes when I'm hanging out with my sister, I have the odd feeling that people think we're dating. I don't recall at the moment if anyone has ever actually said that, though.

That reminds me, my aunt is nearly my age and we went to this skating rink and this couple thought we were dating

Sad thing is my aunt's a major comedian and she said yes. I didn't know about the whole thing and she didn't tell me until I was driving her home. I pretty much freaked out.

That's the last time I'm taking her out

LOL. I was with my brother one time, we were going to see my dad at work; as we were walking up, this guy standing next to my dad asks him,

"Oh, your son as a very nice looking girlfriend."

Once, when I was babysitting a toddler for his mother, I decided to take him to the park. When we got there, a lady started staring at me. Finally, she approached me and asked, "You are just watching him, right?"
I responded "Yes, I'm his babysitter". She then said, "Good, I thought you were one of them who does indecent acts at a young age." As soon as she said this, she walked away.

Also, years ago when we first started attending our church, our pastor thought my mother was our sister. He thought that my father was a widower and that my mother was just his oldest daughter. It's kind of scary that people think my mother is my father's daughter, because she's only 3 yrs. younger than him.

When I was playing with my three year old cousin I was constantly saying things like, "Don't get dirty or Mommy will kill me!", etc.

I got a couple laughs out of people with my comments.

I've had that feeling too.

I have a aunt whose fifteen; but she doesn't play pranks, she does karate--and lives in a big, big house.
