Chinese Family Emails

(1) I successfully defend my masters thesis

(2) Aunt sends out email with attachment of a picture of me eating at a restaurant with them for celebration. Email is sent to all my relatives, including my parents.

(3) In the body she writes: We are celebrating Joses become SEXY Joses

(4) My mom replies: Why ? What ? Sexy ? ????

(5) My aunt replies: Sexy mean master degree in Chinese.

*masters degree in Chinese is pronounced "sek see"
