Asians, help me out here...
Growing up, my parents told me that they found me under a bridge. They told my younger brother and sister similar stories. That is to say, we are not your biological parents; we discovered you.
All of my friends of slanty-eyed Asian ancestry were told a story along the same lines by their parents. Yours? |

I'm being EXTREMELY dense here, but which of the following was this? 1) a way of explaining where babies come from 2) a childhood "joke" 3) the admission that you were adopted 4) a cultural euphemism for the fact that you were actually born to your parents |

Re: Asians, help me out here...
what generation are you. what flavor (sweet sour, kal-bi, nice presentation, but bland flavor, fish sauce, etc)? I wasn't told this, but I'm yon-jin, and even my grandparents couldn't speak fluently (they had perfect english and a kind of broken jap-lish that others of their generation could understand, but that formally trained and native japanese speakers couldn't figure out).

I've heard of it from other slant eyeds. I think it's said by a parent when the child does something that is less than stellar or which the parents don't approve. kind of a "you didn't come from my gene pool" thing.
