I swear my dad and I are on different wavelength. Or rather, he is.
So a random conversation over lunch went like this -
Dad: Are there any shoes you want to repair? Can help you glue.
Me : (Automatic response) No.
Me : (After a few seconds thought) Umm, there is a pair…red and blue one…
Dad: I can’t help.
Me : …… *wth?!*
Dad: I can’t glue leather ones. It only works with plastic, metal etc, not leather.
Me : (lapse to Singlish due to excessive exasperation) Where got (normal) people wear plastic and metal shoes one!
Dad: *sheepish laugh* It works well with wood too…
Me : *senses a trap* We don’t wear wooden shoes out.
Dad: Got, Japanese! They wear wooden shoes! Clogs!
Me : We aren’t in Japan now. And we don’t wear wooden shoes out.
Dad:
Me : -_-
Seriously.
