Daddy's mission!

He has been here for 5 hours. Already this conversation has ensued:

Dad: So, do you know how to cook yet?

Me: Nope...

Dad: Aren't you going to learn?

Me: Maybe someday....

Dad: Must be nice to put everything off until "someday"

Me: It's not too bad. Can't complain...

Dad: Wow, nice life huh.... So, you need any money to support this life?

Me: Yeah, the life ain't bad.. no, I am cool dad.... but since when do you try giving me money..
Wasn't it always me giving not so subtle hints?

Dad: Well, just want you to know that I am here for you. Don't want you to feel that your dad ignores you or anything.

Me: Hmm.. ok cool (I'm worried.. this is not my father!!!)

Dad: Nora, can you unpack my suitcase?

Me: I already did. Clothes are hanging and everything else is in the 1st and 2nd drawers of the dresser. Toiletries are on top of the dresser.

Dad: "ya salam ya bet!" We want to get you married... "3yzeen nekhlas menik"

Me: because of my exceptional unpacking skills?

Dad: yeah... Do you remeber my friend "Dr. A"?

Me: yeah...

Dad: Well, him and his nephew are coming over tonight

Me: Cool.. have fun!?

I guess that is his Egyptian side shining through.
God save me!
If my dad has it his way, I'll be married with 2 kids by the end of this post!! Help!!

I think he was just using "we" to make it seem more serious. I guess it is the same as "there is power in numbers" kinda idea. We is just more official that "I"...
Don't worry! ;o)
Love you...
