Chinese to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Comedy about a family

This is a script/screenplay for a comedy that will be submitted to an agency in the US. I need something that is really colloquial, but the things I'm coming up with lack punch. Mom is unhappy with the way her child keeps making silly decisions, and he serves a soup that he just cooked in an inappropriate container. Dad is furious, and the boy says that none of the other bowls in the house were big enough and anyway this container was clean. The boy tries some soup to show everyone at the party that it is safe to eat. And Mom says:

贾母：唉---你这孩子，让我说你什么好。

for more context:

(贾福楠做完一锅海参三鲜汤，倒在瓷碗里，瓷碗太小，装不下。
贾福楠随手拿过一个痰盂的包装盒，取出新痰盂，刷了刷，
贾福楠把海参三鲜汤倒进新痰盂里，端到桌上。
餐桌上，大家诧异地望着他。)
贾父：你要气死我是不是？！
贾福楠：那个汤碗太小，装不下，这个是全新的。海参汤味道很鲜美，我尝过的。
贾福楠(端起酒杯喝下)：我先祝贺老爸49岁生日快乐。
(贾福楠说着，自己先用羹匙盛了一点自己喝下：好鲜啊，大家快尝尝。)
贾母：唉---你这孩子，让我说你什么好。
