-Hello
-Hello dad!! How are you this fine day?
-I’m fine thanks, how are you? You sound awfully cheerful, what happened? Are you getting married or something? (what?!)
-No, I got the visa dad, I’m going to Ireland for a week! Actually now that you mention it, I might as well just get married there and never come back.
-Oh no don’t do that, their economy is doomed! They’re going down! First Greece and now Ireland. (so THAT's the reason why i shouldn't get married to a random person during my one week trip in ireland)
- I don’t care! Irish people are so cool and I get along well with them. Besides, if I get married to one, I can live and work there or anywhere in Europe. No more visa hassle. Imagine that!
- *Sigh* I’m handing the phone over to your mom.
Hahaha! Very good. I guess he'd be happier if you married a German - solid boring economy which isn't doomed (if you believe the so-called experts). I guess he's happy you're not going to Greece.
ReplyDeletei don't think he'd care as long as i were happy and of course as long as he liked the hypothetical husband. his only fear is me getting married somewhere and never moving back to istanbul hehe
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable. Nice of you to wind him up!
ReplyDeleteyeah i love doing that :) besides, he should get used to the idea. might as well happen. not necessarily through marriage though. been single for ages and counting.
