I recently came across a site that a hosts hilarious history of light hearted humiliations. We have all had awkward experiences due to parental embarrassments, but now we are able to connect on sharing a similar background. MyMomIsAFob and MyDadIsAFob are two sites where those that share stories, photos, emails, and even text messages of immigrated irony.

F.O.B. has always been a term that showcases the negative aspects of migration. Originally an acronym for “fresh off (the) boat” it always focused on the differences of being born and raised abroad. The term at first was related to Europeans coming into Ellis Island, now it synonymous with the influx of Asians. These sites are relative to quirky idioms of having family from outside the US.

Hilarious and innovative are the listings on smart ways to us chopsticks for such as keeping your hands clean while eating greasy popcorn or making sandwiches for your child’s school lunch. From birthday card wishes, to visor wearing fashionistas these sites have an insightful goodhearted humor we can all giggle to.

Check out this one adorable post they did on December 19th of last year called Step by Step Instructions.
