1. When they tell you to dress up and you say you don’t want to go.

Better go and wear cloth.

2. You, waiting for you parents to now get ready:

Hian! On top party I don’t even want to attend.

3. When you go 3 hours late and you’re still the first family to arrive.

What the hell?

4. When the only people there are your parents’ friends, so you just sit in a corner like:

Why am I even here?

5. When they make you greet every single adult there.

See assignment.

6. The food they give you vs. The food they give them:

Is it fair?

7. “You better eat now, because I’m not cooking when we get home.”

Can’t come and carry last.

8. The only part of the party you looked forward to:

YES LORD!

9. Your parents, when they are spraying money vs. Your parents, when you ask them for money:

Na wa for una.

10. When your parents force you to stand up and dance.

Ugh! Am I the entertainment?

11. How your dancing intensifies when adults start spraying you money:

Shake it for the cash.

12. When they start using you to brag:

Uhm. Actually…

13. When they pack leftovers from the party and make you carry them.

Hay God!

14. When they say “we are going home” but they already said that 2 hours ago.

CAN WE GO?
