Amy: "ok. and then the effiel tower and notre dame? and the arc du triomphe?"
Dad: "yeah then have dinner at mowing row"
Amy: "what is mowing row?"

ahahahahahahahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa!!
i am falling off my chair from cracking up so hard!!!!!! this brings to mind the time your sis and i compiled a chinglish dictionary and my dad found out and said, "shame on you!"
in reality, i had a much harder time understanding where it was he wanted to go. but yes, it is shameful to make fun of my dad like that. heee. :D
Post of the year! Although that pie looked pretty good too... =)
clearly it must have been a bad connection on the phone... clearly...
maybe it was because you couldn't see his lips so that you could infer more meaning from his utterances?
oh, Amy dear... that was hilarious.... i love your dad. did you enjoy yourself?????
