The latest addition to a growing trend of blogs turned into books gives readers a taste of the humor, horror and affection of having an immigrant parent. The blog My Mom Is a Fob is the brainchild of Californian ABCs Teresa and Selena Wu. The book features all-too-real dialogues involving Asian moms submitted by readers of the blog, complete with disastrous grammar and unintentional sexual innuendo, such as calling rap music “rape music.”

The mothers can be hilariously forward, such as when one tells her daughter “Girls no pretty when they pass 30. No guy going to marry you when you expire!,” or ridiculously blunt, “After seeing your face, I don’t have appetite no more.” But though the words are harsh, from the comments it’s obvious that these children have come to accept and appreciate their mothers’ traditional ways.

Declarative warnings like “Do not eat boba. It is causing cancer,” are sure to cause a chuckle, but at its heart, this is a book about maternal love and companionship. Even if your parents are lily-white, you’ll share in the authors’ boundless adoration for fobby parents everywhere.

My Mom is a Fob is available on Taobao for ¥102 plus ¥8 shipping.
