1. Huyen asking what my parents' names are and not knowing my last name. (Truth check: she knows my full name but later was confused on why you call someone's parents Mr. and Mrs. because it's, "Too formal.")
2. My parents not getting up. In their defense they fell asleep about two seconds after we left the room.
3. My annoying nervous laughter. I must get it from my sister.
4. The occasional glances of my cousin Justin smiling in the background.
Huyen invited my parents for coffee later in the day when she finished work and I was still at work. Prior to meeting up with Huyen my Dad took a pain killer pill (I'm pretty sure for his ailing back and not because she's a goy) and promtly fell asleep at the cafe while dripping with sweat. Literally my mother had to push him back in his chair since he started to fall out of it while off in sleepy-land. This scared the hell out of Huyen who keeps texting/asking me how my Dad is feeling.
When I finished work, Mom, Huyen, Justin, Ryan and I all went to dinner. A little more awake, Mom and Huyen seemed to be bonding:

It's amazing to see your parents in Vietnam. They looked so relaxed on the couch. Your dad needs uppers not pain pills or he'll be asleep for most to the trip.
Introduce your mom to the dolls (or maybe not!). See if the energy in the house changes while they're there.
Have a great time sightseeing together. You need to get mom on the back of a motorbike. Take pictures.
