Sit back, relax, and
let the curry powder smell take you away...
1. Setting off their first firework at the tender age of 7
And then running for dear life as soon as it lights
2. The constant comparison between any other Indian child who BREATHES
You're right mom. I should have won the Spelling Bee. I'm sorry you were left with such a miserable child.
3. Having to pretend you like an Aunty’s food while your parents break down your back
Hey, she's nice. Her food... not so much.
4. Having to pretend to remember that Aunty because she expects to even though you last spoke when you were 3
Yeah, sure I remember you. Now please stop pinching my cheeks.
5. Relatives actually looking to set you up with other “Good Indian” potential spouses, because what is the purpose of life without marriage and medicine?
Hard. Pass. But I will help myself to more food.
6. Hearing the crazy stories of your parents tying fireworks to their cow’s tails
LOOK INTO ITS EYES. IT DOES NOT DESERVE THIS FATE.
7. Bringing your friend of another race over and being inquired about the ‘curry smell’
And the smell following you into you're clothes, bags, and everything in between.
8. Dreading the day you had to bring grades home.
None of your white friends could relate
9. Your parents swearing that vapor rub will fix your rash,fever, and stress
They put that on everything
10. Iconic brown people parties, that blows the American Red Cup party way out of the water
First drink, spin the bottle, we invented the party game, son
