All Hail the Asian Leprechaun
(1 votes, average: 1 out of 5)
Loading ...Well, it finally happened. One of my very few most embarrassing childhood memories has been disclosed for all to read on the Internet. Not that I mind really. I’ve always enjoyed telling the story and seeing the reaction. For a long time I figured Barb was the only person who actually found the story hilariously funny, but apparently many other people find it hysterical as well.
Here is the back story… Barb sent me an email last week with a link to a blog called MetroDad written by a fellow who is a newage Dad of Asian decent. He had written a post about the things parents inadvertently do to embarrass their children and potentially scar them for life. It is a funny read and, like many other imports, I could relate to the experiences he described. At the end of the post he asks for people to submit their most embarrassing childhood experience. I couldn’t resist, so I wrote a comment with “My First St. Patrick’s Day in Canada” story. I was overwhelmed by the response to my comment. There were comments like “I’m voting for the Asian Leprechaun” and “All Hail the Asian Leprechaun”. Needless to say, I won the contest and I’m now the proud owner of an autographed Mandy Moore poster and a copy of “Borat the Movie”. Yeah!
I won’t post the story on my blog, but you can read it on MetroDad.
Oh yeah, thanks Mom! This whole experience has been tremendously therapeutic. Now I can finally enjoy St. Patrick’s Day without the fear that I’ll have to stand up on a chair and have children point and giggle.
