I'm 20-s0mething young (at a very good marriagable age I must say). Ever since I started working my dad has been giving me 'The Talk'. 'The Talk', in summary, consists of ME getting Married early, having Children early, and the importance of having a good husband (comparative to those showing in Hong Kong drama serials - good ones of course).

Its an indirect way of telling me: stop leeching off them and give them grandchildren.

As time goes by, I'm sure I have heard tonnes and tonnes of excuses of the importance of getting married. My dad is sure very creative of dropping hints. Classic example is when we are watching some Hong Kong drama serials, he would comment on how bad/good the guy is and then infuse the examples on my love life. Or when I am in the car (driving him around, when I really cannot escape) he will bring up how is it that girls should marry young because they should give birth young, because ... because... How nice.

And then there are more.

Just yesterday I was arguing with my mom about something to do with my brother (complicated dont ask...). All I did was disagree on certain things that the way my brother was handling, and as usual, my mom will side my brother. All this while, my dad was listening quietly.

Very innocent right?

Not.

Later, he commented that I was very hot-headed, stubborn and very strong in my opinions (when it comes to my brothers and what I feel, I think I am...). Of course, I thought he was going to lecture me on the importance of giving and take, he is your brother.. understand abit.. yadda yadda...

No.

Instead this came out: "Headstrong and aggressive woman bear more baby boys. Next time you will have more baby boys"

(-.-)" xian....
