Ring Ring
ThePurg: Hello
Mom: Hello, this is your mom, I am in grocery (note she never goes there), do you want some Pringles?
ThePurg: No thanks.

One hour later, maid comes in, with bags and bags of grocery, and gives me Pringles

ThePurg: Huh! What is this?
Maid: Your mom said you want it
ThePurg: No! I said I do not want anything!

ThePurg goes to kitchen and sees 2 dozens of Banana!!!

ThePurg: What is all this!
Maid: I do not know, your mom got it!
ThePurg: This much!! who will eat all of this!!
Maid: You should have seen her face when they said it all cost 94 KD
ThePurg: WHAT!!WHAT!!! SHE WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO GET SOME STUFF!!

Side note: Dad is the one who does grocery, he is out of town.

Ring Ring

ThePurg: Hello, what is all this grocery? did you leave anything?
Mom: (laughing), maid wrote it (3ayara)
ThePurg: Maid would write all this! Why so much bananas! How much did it all cost
Mom : 30 KD! (liar)
ThePurg: You kidding me?
Mom: (laughing)

Ok, not that other people in this house are much better, all of them do not know how to control their money, but 94 freaking KDs for just some stuff before my father comes back is just insane! I am not talking about high prices, but buying stuff like they cost 2 KD is stupid!

Lucky for me, I am a cheap-ass (frugal) person.

I was talking to my good friend Dodo regarding a Korean person, so I made up a name (KIM SU SLOW), and then she gave me his name and of course as with many Koreans, his name starts (or rather ends) with Kim. So that made me think, what kind of a man was this Kim dude that he has millions and millions of off springs?

From Wiki.

"Kim is the most common family name in Korea. In 1985, out of a population of between roughly 40 and 45 million in South Korea, there were approximately 8.8 million Kims — roughly 20% of the population (Storey, 35). The name is common in both modern-day North Korea and South Korea. The Chinese character used for the name (金) means "gold," and although the character is usually pronounced "geum" (금) in Korea, it is pronounced "gim" (김) when used for the family name and names of some cities, e.g., Gimhae (金海) and Gimpo (金浦).

In ancient historical records, a Xiongnu prince named Kim Iljae was mentioned. This was a man who had gone from royalty, to a slave, and then to an official in the Han court. Kim Iljae's presence within the Han court was vast and very high in rank by the time of Han Wudi's death. Kim Iljae's descendants later fled Han China and escaped into the Korean Peninsula to the Silla Kingdom, and some went even further down to establish the Gaya Confederacy."

And then the article goes into short discussion about the different Kim Clans. It is amazing how one guy with so many million sperms, have made two Kim nations.

Some famous Kim's (also from wiki)

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and his father/predecessor Kim Il-sung

South Korean singer Kim Young-woon (Kang-In) of Super Junior
South Korean president Kim Young-sam
South Korean president Kim Dae-jung
Fashion designer André Kim
Lost actors Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim
MLB Pitcher Kim Byung-hyun
Movie Producer Kim Ki-duk

My favorite Kim, is Kimi Räikkönen.

We have a shouter in our family.

A shouter is someone who talks too loud, even on the phone, and when you tell them that they are talking loud, they blame you for mumbling and not speaking clearly. Some families also have the talker, the person that must talk and say anything, even if no one is there, they talk to themselves. This annoys me, but what can I do, family is family, just have to live with them (or ignore them).
