Mad English Skills

Ma'am, were you aware of what you did?
*stammers* mmm....
Back there, you should stop at the red light and then make a turn. I hope you know to do that next time. Do you have insurance and license?
*face stricken and pale* (being VERY cooperative) Yes, I have insurance (pulls it out)
Do you have your license also?
My bag. mmm.. In my bag. At home.
This usually isn't good enough. You need to have your drivers's license on you at all times, okay?
Were you on your way home?
(mouse-like voice) We left and close to home.
Cop didn't hear..I had to intervene-spoke Korean to mom, even though she perfectly understood the cop and could've spoken up.. so...
*awkward silence*
Well... I hope that you have a good night!

that convo would've been written better with emoticons :P anyway, what a nice guy.


mom was frazzled all the way to the Y- parked all weird and walked stiffly as we walked in. dad and I couldn't help but laugh because of her English skills that were used tonight. :( it was so odd to see her so weirded out like that. wonder what was going through her head.

Dad drove on the way home.

Anne says that if she were in the car with mom, she would've started saying, "Hi, this is Yon Kim with FedEx Trade Networks..."

This was also after last night she was laughing (kind of in a mean way) at Miranda's parents for teaching Jennifer about locking keys in car by making her drive parent's van around and also about bringing up how she hasn't had a ticket in 20 years...

Your story ended a little weird... like you didn't tell it very well, but it's funny.

Oh, and I took the liberty to edit your post. Hope you don't mind.
