me: *struggling*

ASIAN PARENTS TELLING THEIR KID TO STOP READING!?! GOD BLESS ME

[delaneyness]

Everyone else’s punishment: go to your room and read

Her punishment: stop reading and go play

[elainegumenyuk]

The real question is how does she find so many books?

[-bz]

My parents

Stop playing and read!

Yejis parents

Stop reading and play!

[Mia-pmor]

Her: *reads 4 chapter books a week*
Me: *reads half a chapter book a month*

[ohsnapitzmj]

She defends her reading hobbies like I defend being on my electronics

[elliotjrealtor]

"I don't get to read that much during the school year, only like a book a day"

[adheenageorge]

I bet she's read 1000 books in Qurantine 🤔🤔

[Christian-bbmm]

At least she doesn’t use her phone all day

[emilygrande]

The moment your mom and dad says for once not to read... LOL

[yvonne]

That's a shocker.. Her parents are cutting down her reading time while my mom tries to get me to read. 😂

[valeriacruz]

Does it count if I can get through 30 YouTube vids in 1 hour

[torenonion]

“if i dont stop her she will read for hours”

my mom: read or die

[clapz]

She can read 2 books in a day, and its takes my school 1 year to finish 1 book in

[listening]

Awww, she's cute and has a good sense of humor! I like the Dad saying "ESPECIALLY not in the morning, " lol!

[cadeepperson]

10 books per day, I barely read 10 pages in 10 years

[josukulelechannel]

Now, most kids would get their phones taken away for texting too much. Yeji gets books taken away. Good for her.

[-sensira]

Asian Her: *Read 100 books in a few months*
Asian Me: *every two months read 2 pages of a baby book*

[gavinmatheson]
