  • So at dinner later, remember to be polite to everyone, especially grandma.

  • Yep.

  • And don't be too picky about Taiwanese food.

  • Nice.

  • Jenny, are you pretending to snowboard on your bed again?

  • Uh, no.

  • That reminds me, please don't talk about snowboarding the whole time.

  • What?

  • Should I talk about skiing instead?

  • Jenny, I'm serious.

  • Grandma is from a different time.

  • If you tell her the truth, she'll think you're a...

  • Just trust me on this, okay?

  • Okay, mom.

  • No snowboard.

  • How hard could it be?

  • So Jenny, what do you do for fun in Colorado?

  • Uh, fun?

  • I don't do anything for fun.

  • Nope, nothing fun.

  • Oh, are you a bookworm like our son, Hubert?

  • All he does is reading his room.

  • Yep, me too.

  • Read, read, read all day long.

  • I heard Colorado has a lot of snow.

  • Really?

  • I never noticed.

  • Yeah, and people ride a board all the way down a mountain.

  • Whoosh, whoosh.

  • Why would anyone ride a board all the way down a mountain? Certainly not because it's the most mind-blowing, adrenaline-packed, fully-immersed-in-nature experience known to man.

  • You know, I always thought skiing looked more fun than snowboarding.

  • Oh yes, I agree.

  • Because you have two skis instead of one board.

  • Plus you have those sticks.

  • Oh yeah, the sticks are nice.

  • Skiers seem to have more attitude too.

  • I guess we're all in agreement then.

  • Skiing is the best snow sport in the world.

  • Ah!

  • Actually, Jenny's true passion is snowboarding. That's right, snoring.

  • I just love snoring.

  • Oh, your Uncle Kevin loves snoring too.

  • Of course.

  • Snoring.

  • Why do you love snoring again, Jenny?

  • Oh, because I study it in school.

  • Oh, like research?

  • Yes, research.

  • In the library.

  • As opposed to outside.

  • Tell us more about your research.

  • I research the...

  • It's the kind of research that...

  • I mean...

  • Shrimp's ready.

  • Nah, not yet.

  • What research, Jenny?

  • All right, screw it.

  • You want the truth?

  • I love snowboarding, okay?

  • All I think about day in and day out is snowboarding.

  • And whenever there's no class, and sometimes when there is class, I go snowboarding.

  • That's why I got straight C's last year, and that's why my mom had to bribe me with a new snowboard to come to Taiwan and learn Mandarin, even though my Mandarin sucks ass.

  • And since I'm being totally honest, I really don't get hot pot.

  • It's just meat in boiled water.

  • I wanted to order pizza.

  • I can't stand that my husband has no personality.

  • I just pretend to read in my room when I'm playing video games.

  • I still play in my bed.

  • Oh, me too.

  • I'm angry at the world!

  • I want to have sex with a young Korean man like in the dramas!

  • Enough!

  • Jenny, we're a family.

  • I don't care how well you study in the U.S.

  • A family is like hot pot.

  • Each has its own characteristics.

  • Sometimes, more sauce makes it taste better.

  • I also think snowboarding is good.

  • Play more when you're younger.

  • So that means I can quit school and be a gamer?

  • Sit down!

  • I think I get it, Granny.

  • In this family, I'm the sauce.

  • Yes, you are the sauce.

  • Say hi, Mom!
