When was the moment you realized that you’re kinda turning into your parents? 😭🙄
Well, my moment of profound self-awareness hit me today, right there at the Asian market checkout. I'm buying one of those tiny boxes of pork bouillon cubes, the kind that literally vanishes in your hand.
The cashier, bless her, scanned it. "$1.99," she said.
I, being me, confidently handed over two dollars and, without missing a beat, chirped, "Can I get a bag for that, please? Haha, just kidding!"
Absolute silence. Not a flicker of emotion from behind her mask, from what I could tell. My joke landed with the grace of a brick.
Walking back to the car, it all clicked. My dad says exactly these kinds of groan-worthy, super obvious jokes. Every. Single. Time. And just like that, with a complicated mix of sadness and resignation, I realized I was carrying on the family legacy. It's happening, folks. The transformation is complete. 😮💨
