Moments when...

you pretend weren't awkward because you don't want to draw attention to them. And then you either express no emotion or quickly walk into another room. But you can't really walk into another room if you're in the car with someone.

Mom: I bet your dad wants you to marry a Chinese guy.
Dad: I don't care who you marry, as long as you're happy!
Me thinking: ...How did we get on this subject? I'm in middle school...

Both Diana's and my mom on separate occasions: Don't get a PhD, because then your selection of guys will be much, much smaller because they will be intimidated by you.

Mom: Your bed frame isn't very sturdy. Next time you'll come home, there will be two people on it.
Me thinking: I don't weigh that much...

Me: __ and __ are dating now. Haha.
Dad: Oh, they're probably really good friends.
Me: Er no.
Dad: -continues to smile because he won't believe me-

Today, as I finished washing the dishes:
Dad to me: Your pants are long.
Mom: They were long when we got them. Buying on sale, and all.
Dad to me: You haven't grown.
Mom: Yeah, she hasn't.
Mom and dad: She stopped growing, didn't she?
Mom: I was worried she'd be too tall and then she wouldn't get married.
Dad: If she were a little taller, it would be perfect.
Mom: She's just the right height now.
