♦31Jul10 By the rhythm of the waves.

Sometimes I feel like a translator between my parents and my younger brother. It's not even any slang that either of them are using. Even when my parents are speaking the most basic Vietnamese, my brother would still misinterpret things; and vice versa. They just don't get each other. A lot of times, I can sense when their conversations are going to be misunderstood. One time I was napping and I was able to notice this..

Speaking of naps, lately I've been taking them a lot more often. I used to avoid them 'cause I was scared they would mess up my sleep schedule and usually I'd wake up with a headache - but now, they're pretty damn amazing. I wake up refreshed and actually wanting to study/do homework. Why couldn't I have discovered this sooner..

Anyways I wonder why they can't understand each other. Generation gap maybe? Or maybe I'm just more experienced at communicating with my parents 'cause I'm older. Whatever it is it kinda sucks, being the middleman and all.

Oh yeah, I hella want to see Despicable Me.
