Drunk Asian Parents

For those of us who have FOB parents, you understand me when I say that there is nothing funnier than watching them get drunk. And uncles and aunts. And pretty much everyone else. My uncle was especially drunk. A few of my favorite Thanksgiving incidents:

1. During a drinking game:
    Uncle: "But 7x5 is 55!"
2. While playing mafia:
    Narrator: "Doctor, open your eyes. Who do you want to save?"
    Mom: *silence* then, "Who do I want to save?"
    Everyone: "Mommm!!!"
3. During mafia after Dad, Mom, then Uncle have been eliminated in a row:
    Uncle: "This discrimination on old people!"
4. During mafia again:
    Uncle: "I think it's her!" (points to Aunt)
    Aunt: "No, it's him!" (points to Uncle)
5. During mafia:
    Uncle: "Look! Yinfa drop his card on floor!"
    Nhan: "No! Look up, Uncle!"
    Uncle: *stares blankly at ceiling expecting to see something*
6. During spoons:
    Uncle: "You see, Serena (my cousin)? What I do is not look at cards at all. Only look there (points to spoons). This way I never win, but I never lose."
    Cancan (who is sitting beside him): "And that's why I lost that time!!! You have to pass the cards to me at least Uncle!"
    Uncle: *scoots closer to spoons*
7. During spoons (when someone loses a round, we don't eliminate them. We draw one line on their face with eyeliner)
    Mom (after Uncle has lost a round): "Lisa! Draw cat!"
    Lisa: "Mom...that's kind of more than one line..."
8. During spoons:
    Kelly: "Dad!! You did not get a spoon!"
    Dad: "Yes! See, I have one!"
    Kelly: "That one was in your pocket!!"
9. My dad toasts my sister and cousin (who are not exactly legal yet):
    Dad: "To the beautiful young ladies! I hope you be, uh, good, and uh, not do bad things, and uh...."
    Cancan: "He's trying to say listen to your parents."

I might have missed some incidents, but I can't remember right now. I had a really great Thanksgiving. Turkey, family, drinking, fun...it was great. I'm so thankful for my awesome family and my thoughtful, sweet friends.

Hope you all had an equally great time!
