Your parents think church is a social event.

No matter how hard they try, your parents will never pronounce "wood" correctly.
You think ramen is the fifth food group.
You have to translate for your parents when ordering fast food.
Your family owns a dry cleaning place, liquor store, or grocery store.
Your mother has a short haired, curly perm.
Your parents still tried to get you into places half-price saying you're 12 when you're really 14.
You ask your parents help on your math homework and 2 hours later they're still lecturing you about how they knew it in 4th grade.
You have a 40 lb. bag of rice in your pantry.
You've had a bowl haircut in one part in your life.
You've had to sit through karaoke videos with ugly asian women attempting to dance in a temple or park.
You've had to eat parts of animals they don't even put in hotdogs.

Your parents insist you marry someone Korean.

Your parents simply cut off the green/black part off the bread and say "Eat it anyway, its good for you."
Your parents have either forced you to play the piano, violin, or both.
You have rocks, sticks, leaves, deer antlers, and other strange smelling substances for medicine.
Your parents read about some super nerd who has no life and got in the paper for scoring highest in the SATs and ask why you can't be more like him.
When an Asian girl with a white guy (or vice versa) walks by, your parents STARE at them with their eyes popping out.
When you go to buffets, your parents make you eat until you think you're going to hurl, and even after you do, they say, "good, eat more."
Your parents never participated in the "American" traditions of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. You'll say, "Where's Santa Claus?" and they'll reply, "Santa Claus! Ptch! He's dead!" And then you'll start crying.
After you're get off the phone with someone from the opposite sex, your parents will start interrogating you about that person (except the last one). You'll talk to someone from the opposite sex two days in a row, and your parents immediately think there's something going on.
You bring home straight As, and your parents say, "So? You're supposed to get that!"
You're proud to be Korean - and you pass these jokes on to all your Korean friends!

Not all of these are true. XD
~_____~; If they are, I'd really be sad because I don't apply for like half of this list.
You or your parents start singing when drunk.
(Mom can't drink. Dad just watches TV after. And me = never drunk)
Your parents are shorter than you.
(My dad is taller than me -___-; )
Your parents think church is a social event.
(Don't go to church. Too lazy. ~___~ )
"No-Rae-Bang" is a common household word.
(-___- I wish! I asked my dad to buy me one and he's like I'll think about it. Which means no.)
Your main source of income is New Years.
(All my relatives are in Korea so... no money or gifts for me.)
Your parents think anything goes with rice.
(Me + Rice = Fat So... -_-; nope)
"Glue? Use rice, its better"
(-_____- so wrong... Mom: "RICE? TOO MANY CARBS! Just go over there and eat salad." )
Your parents have never kissed you.
(My mom eats me ALIVE.)
Your parents have never kissed each other.
(They kiss each other when they don't think I'm watching. -__-; )
Failing a class means finding a new place to live.
(I failed my first class in college and they didn't talk to me for weeks. ~_~; But they still let me come home... after a month.)
Your mom rents korean soap operas and watches them daily.
(We cut Korean dramas when I was in high school. Now we just watch variety shows that I download off the internet.)
You think ramen is the fifth food group.
(I can't eat ramen because my mom is like "Ramen makes you FAT!" And on top of that, these days, people in Korea are all about being healthy. Like if they say beans are good for your skin, beans will be sold out in Korea. ~_____~; And I'm completely serious about this.)
You have to translate for your parents when ordering fast food.
(-_- Parents are health freaks so the only fast food is pizza.)
Your family owns a dry cleaning place, liquor store, or grocery store.
(@_____@ THIS IS SO WRONG.)
Your parents still tried to get you into places half-price saying you're 12 when you're really 14.
(This guy wouldn't sell be a ticket in middle school at the right price because he thought I was older. Probably because I was wearing a lowcut shirt and shorts. -_-; psh)
You've had a bowl haircut in one part in your life.
(If I ever had a bowl cut haircut, I would have KILLED my parents.)
You've had to sit through karaoke videos with ugly asian women attempting to dance in a temple or park.
(Ah I never had the (mis)fortune of doing this.)
Your parents simply cut off the green/black part off the bread and say "Eat it anyway, its good for you."
(Mom is a health freak. Organic food and that's all. ~__~;;; )
Your parents have either forced you to play the piano, violin, or both.
(They tried. -_- I failed... (I quit XD) so eventually they told me not to bother.)
When you go to buffets, your parents make you eat until you think you're going to hurl, and even after you do, they say, "good, eat more."
(They tell me to stop eating because I'll get fat. -_-; )

Some of that is true & I'm not even Korean.
Some of this should just be

Speaking of Asian's I'm going to a Asian Festival tomorrow in Atlanta.
It's mainly Koreans & Japanese though.
should have sex

You have a container full of Kim-Chee in your fridge right now.
You or your parents start singing when drunk.
Alcohol is generally disliked in my family. And when anyone does get drunk, either they fall asleep or they become anti-social (in the case of me and my brother).
Your parents are shorter than you.
Does it count if you have only one parent that's shorter than you? My father used to stand over six feet in height.
You call a korean older than you "Oppa/Hyung" or "Un Nee/Nuna"
Your parents think church is a social event.
We are not Christian.
"No-Rae-Bang" is a common household word.
No-rae-bang is the devil in my parents' rule book and my lungs will collapse from smoke-overload the moment I step into one.
Your main source of income is New Years.
It used to be. Never got a single cent after I turned thirteen, but we stilled paid our respects to our parents.
Everyone asks if you're Chinese.
Most Koreans think I'm either a foreigner or half Korean. All the Americans I've met get surprised when I tell them I'm full Korean.
Your parents think anything goes with rice.
That's not the case with my father, but it is with mother; well, sort of. There are even moments when my mother will also draw the line.
"Glue? Use rice, it’s better"
I've only had my parents use this phrase when I ran out of glue, and this ony occurred in my childhood.
Your parents have never kissed you.
I kiss my parents on the cheek all the time and often times I hide in my room to avoid my mother for slobbering all over me.
Your parents have never kissed each other.
It was rare, but I have seen my parents kiss.
Failing a class means finding a new place to live.
Things get pretty bad, but nothing harsh as kicking me out of the house.
Your mom rents korean soap operas and watches them daily.
Hell, we live in Korea, there's no need to rent Drama videos. Just turn the T.V. on at the right moment and walla. Even so, my mother only watches the historical ones.
Sleeping on the floor is nothing new to you.
As I'm naturally skin and bones; painful, yes. Alien, no.
Your parents yell your korean name REAL loud in public places.
Technically, this doesn't apply for me. Getting my Korean name yelled out is a rare occurance as I'm usually known through my birthname. My Korean name is rarely used except for when I'm registering to some important things in Korea. Furthermore, my middle name isn't my Korean name.
No matter how hard they try, your parents will never pronounce "wood" correctly.
Again, this case only refers to my mother. Every time we correct her, she gets it on the first try but as she is forgetful, she keeps asking us.
You think ramen is the fifth food group.
I eat and breathe that stuff and get yelled at if I have too much. >_<
You have to translate for your parents when ordering fast food.
My parents are perfectly capable of ordering fast food on their own... that is, if they weren't into healthy food.
Your family owns a dry cleaning place, liquor store, or grocery store.
Stereotypical Korean immigrants straight out from the 1960s... NEXT!
Your mother has a short haired, curly perm.
It's not fully curly, but it is naturally wavy and shoulder-length.
Your parents still tried to get you into places half-price saying you're 12 when you're really 14.
And it worked at the time as well as I've always looked younger than my actual age. They still do it just to tease me... one time someone thought they were serious and said, "Whoa... that's a really tall middle-school student you have there! What do you feed your child?" - I'm dead serious.
You ask your parents help on your math homework and 2 hours later they're still lecturing you about how they knew it in 4th grade.
My parents do complain about my poor math skills, but not for long.
You have a 40 lb. bag of rice in your pantry.
You've had a bowl haircut in one part in your life.
IEver since the time since I was ten to the age of sixteen, I've had my hair cut that way every year and I looked horrible. Well, now that I look back at my school pictures. I never really cared much for my looks.
You've had to sit through karaoke videos with ugly asian women attempting to dance in a temple or park.
Mmm... not really, I'm not that big of a karaoke fan.
You've been forced to eat parts of animals that don't even make it into hotdogs.
... And I found some of them to be actually quite tasty.
Piles of shoes tend to make it hard to open the front, back, and closet doors.
This has never occured. All unused shoes are tucked neatly into shelves and pushed off to the side to make room for the door. Also, Korean homes have a separate "room" called the "hyun-gang" and our door swings outward to avoid the problem.
You hear (your name + eee (optional) + yah) every time someone calls you.
Not really. Normally it's just [INSERTS NAME HERE!].
Your parents insist you marry someone Korean.
It wasn't horribly bothersome, but the fact that my parents keep bringing up marriage (in spite of the fact that I'm only 21) is beginning to get tiresome... even if it's just a joke.
People see a bunch of scribble on chopsticks and ask you to translate it.
Your parents simply cut the molding part off the bread and say "Eat it anyway, it’s good for you."
They never said it was good for me though... and my parents understand that mold can sometimes kill people. O_O
Your parents have either forced you to play the piano, violin, or both.
I got punished in the typical Korean manner and my parents pulled me out of the lessons.
You have rocks, sticks, leaves, deer antlers, and other strange smelling substances for medicine.
Contrary to the common Korean family, either my parents think deer antlers are a load of hogwash or they don't really care. As long as the product had been proven scientifically and internationally, they won't believe a word people tell them. We ARE forced to drink an icky concoction called Vegetable soup.
Your parents read about some super nerd who has no life and got in the paper for scoring highest in the SAT’s and ask why you can't be more like him/her.
My parents gave up on my SATs as my scores were a complete mess.
When an Asian girl with a white guy (or vice versa) walks by, your parents STARE at them with their eyes popping out.
Nope. As long as it's not one of their children, my parents don't care.
When you go to buffets, your parents make you eat until you think you're going to hurl, and even after you do, they say, "good, eat more."
As I'd like to quote my father: "In moderation, everyone, in moderation." Generally, we avoid buffets as both my parents understand that over eating is bad for your health.
Your parents never participated in the "American" traditions of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. You'll say, "Where's Santa Claus?" and they'll reply, "Santa Claus! Ptch! He's dead!" And then you'll start crying.
In spite of the fact that we aren't Christian, I've had everything from the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, to the Easter Bunny. The only reason why I stopped believing in them was through the simple self-deductions I made at a very young age.
After you're get off the phone with someone from the opposite sex, your parents will start interrogating you about that person (except the last one). You'll talk to someone from the opposite sex two days in a row, and your parents immediately think there's something going on.
You bring home straight As, and your parents say, "So? You're supposed to get that!"
I wasn't much of a straight-A student... I only excelled in P.E., Art, and Literature. So there was a lot of yelling and crying from my parents' part during my high school years.
You're proud to be Korean - and you pass these jokes on to all your Korean friends!
@ Gomdori: Your parents are all about fat, huh? It's understandable as everyone in Korea is going on a diet now. Unfortunately, the case slightly differs for me. My parents rant more about things like liver/stomach/lung cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
