We traveled to Thailand together, but I had to come back early for work.

So they flew back a month later… by themselves.

Before their flight, I told them like 10 times:

“If they ask about food or meat… just say NO.”

They don’t speak much English, so I was already stressed.

Simple. One job.

Fast forward to customs…

Officer: “Do you have any meat products?”

My dad: “YES.”

…sir???

Immediate side room. Full bag search. The whole experience

They didn’t even have anything.

Turns out he thought they meant:

“do you eat meat?” like… in general

🤦‍♀️
