I love you

" I love You"




Its a phrase said in my house a lot. My mom says it to me, my grandmom says it to me and I say it to them. I know in many Korean households, this phrase is never uttered. I guess its suppose to be understood. I think sometimes it is said too much in my family. I say it to cousins, distant relatives and friends. I even say it to my Dad and were not that close. I especially like to say it on the phone to end conversations.




I talk on the phone a lot for work. At times after the conversation is done with a client, I have the urge of saying "I love you" to them, especially after I talk to a family member.



One time after I finished a conversation with my mom, a client called for a quick question. I was about to hang up and the phrase comes out. I hang up quickly. It was like I saw every letter come out in slow motion. I was frantically trying to pick up each letter and put it back in my mouth.


I knew I couldn't end the conversation that way. I call the lady. She seemed very confused. I explained and all I heard was laughter. I couldn't help but laugh as well.




This ended up not being the only time.......
