My father, the chinese patriot

(After passing a ped xing sign)
Dad: What do they mean by ped xing?
Me: Eh, pedestrain crossing.
Dad: Really! I thought it was a chinese related thing, words in chinese are usually in X, Xiang Xing, Xi etc.
(Me thinks of rolling my eyes)
Me: Hehe.

(Conversation about the ped xing rambled on)
Dad: how come it's not Pedestrian Crossing? Or the illustration?
Me: I think they're too cheap to put the whole word and people may not understand the drawing.
Dad: But why ped xing?
Me: Eh. Well Pedestrian Crossing sounds like Ped Xing...?
Dad: That shouldn't be the case...*rambles on*

Really, my dad can be a nut sometimes hehe =)

Weh.
