luckily my family is kind of loco so they never make me feel stupid... just normal.

OK, if you're the dumbest one in your family . . .

and your family says "foots" . . .

that does not bode well for you.

Hehe ;)

2008-08-20T09:49:00.000-07:00

I would have laughed to. Man, I love being immature.

Your family sounds awesome. You should bring them to all the Starbucks in LA. All of them. That would take, what, seven years?

2008-08-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

Ohhh, I'm not fluent in Hindi so when we watch a bolly movie, I need the subtitles. My mother doesn't believe I can read because she translates Every. Single. Word.

Even the english parts.

Lovely.

2008-08-20T07:53:00.000-07:00

I don't think you were stupid. I think you were slowly driven insane.

And I would have laughed too.

2008-08-20T05:53:00.000-07:00

Hahaha. My dad likes to prove he's literate too! His favourite is reading the signwriting on trucks and vans etc when we're on the road.
He always acts really fascinated, saying a considered "Hmmm..." followed by "Jim's Mowing."
Just one example.

I soooo understand. Last time we went for drinks,...

2008-08-20T05:44:00.000-07:00

I soooo understand. Last time we went for drinks, I had to order the Bangkok Punch. Just so I could say it, then giggle ridiculously while everyone at the table looked at me like I was crazy. But I'm glad I did. It was the best Bangkok Punch I've ever had. ;-)

2008-08-20T04:43:00.000-07:00

LOL. Bangalor.

Sounds exactly like my Vietnamese / Cambodian / Chinese family. Except we go for dim sum instead of recitals. No one dances. Thank god.

2008-08-19T19:59:00.000-07:00

My mom does the exact same thing as your dad: reading out loud every sign and word she passes. It makes me looney! My brother loses all patience and my dad doesn't even notice.

2008-08-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

I think having an Indian (or Vietnamese) family and having a Hispanic one is very much the same.

Hispanics don't really drag things out but we do know how to be fashionably late to Everything. Fashionably = 2 to 3 hours.

Sounds like my Vietnamese family.

2008-08-19T16:34:00.000-07:00

Sounds like my Vietnamese family.

2008-08-19T16:21:00.000-07:00

Doing things for longer than normal could come in handy in some instances.

Did you ever think maybe your mom can't read? HMMM???

I once decided to watch an entire Indian music video.

It's an entire week of my life I want back.

2008-08-19T14:14:00.000-07:00

I was once in the very same predicament. I got stuck at one of those classical indian dancing shows and after the first 2 hours, I was about to lose it.

And lose it I did.

The next introduction were for "Neelay and Gulpana" and I turn to my cousin and say, "they have perfect porn names..NEEL-ay and GULP-ana, haha? ha?"

Yea.

2008-08-19T13:40:00.000-07:00

my friend biscuit (yes another weird nickname) and i have always said we were going to open up a strip club and call it "sugar". the first song of the night/act would always be pour some sugar on me. the dancer would obviously have to crawl on her hands and knees down the stage while doing a mean head whip hair thing.

no i haven't thought this through at all...

and i love narm's comment by the way.

2008-08-19T13:25:00.000-07:00

My boyfriends boss reads all the signs when we're out driving too. They're in advertising so not only do they read all the signs, but we have to discuss them as well.

2008-08-19T13:09:00.000-07:00

One time a friend of mine begged me to go to the opera with her. I hate the opera but I'm a good friend so I went. It was the longest, most painful FIVE HOURS of my life. I think it's the only 5 hour opera ever created - and for good reason.

2008-08-19T13:04:00.000-07:00

My mom reads all the signs. ALL OF THEM. Fantastic really. No, actually not.

BANG-alor. I agree. Very funny. :)
