Masterchef USA

(I found the other thread entitiled something like "Older man younger woman, what goes through your mind" but it was closed)

I was in 7/11 tonight with my dad.  
He is a big old farang and my mom happens to be Thai.  I do not look anything like my dad (or my mom).  

We are waiting for the toasted ham and cheese sandwiches to cook.

a young Thai guy points back and forth between me and my dad.  "True love, "  he smiles and says.

"Khun pa,"  I say.

He laughs.  "Thailand," he says, shaking his head.  "True love," he repeats.

I tell him again that my dad is really my dad, that my mom is Thai ( I could maybe pass for Thai, I look mixed though, and many people think I am European- Italian, French, or Slovenian, whatever.  i have heard it all.)

He shakes his head.  Some other young guys, maybe his friends, are watching and listening.  One makes a comment in Thai, I couldn't understand it all, but he shook his head and laughed and said "Khun pa!"

Whatever.

When my dad and I have been at Paragon, quite a few foreigners will look at us and look me in the eye and shake their heads like something is wrong with me.  My dad and I find it humorous.



I just thought I'd share.  But even in America, when I would go out, sometimes I would see friends and they would tell me that  a weird old man was watching me and following me and I'd say "where?" and it would be my dad.  

maybe the situation is not always what it looks like

I didn't know there was a Whole Foods here!!!

This is good information.  

But from what I have read on this thread, it seems that they would not have the Whole Foods brand vitamins.  I have been having them sent from the USA.

Maybe I will check the place out when I get low on vitamins.

Fall in love .
