I have parents.
Indian parents.
Who think they're all progressive and in with the 'lingo'.
Yep, my mum and dad are nutters.
They're like normal parents but boy, do they have their quirks.
I have never introduced boys I like to my parents and I hardly ever tell them who I like.
They found about my first crush when I was about 12 -ish.
They proceeded to tease me for months everytime they saw him (we lived in the same neighborhood) and then call him names (privately) and generally took the mickey out of me.
I love them, I do. I probably inherited all my weirdness from them as well.
My mum likes singing in a high pitched voice and bugging me. She likes talking in weird accents and thinks its hilarious. She also does weird exercises like jaw exercises. She likes creeping up on me and asking me things in quiet little whispers. If she thinks one of my guy friends are cute she'll tell me to 'reel him in'. And she makes crude and inappropriate jokes about anything and anyone.
My friends find her hilarious.
I live with her. It isn't.
My dad once asked me if I was lesbian. Once, when he was a little tipsy he told all his colleagues at dinner that I was a mistake but the best mistake he ever made. He likes saying things like 'Yo, dude' to me. He makes fun of everything and I do, and he has an account on Instagram. For no reason. He makes outrageous statements and he gave me my first alcoholic drink at 11. And hookah.
I have crazy but awesome parents.
I'm pretty sure when I introduce my future boyfriend to my parents this is how its going to go,
Mum: "Hello! Hello! I'm Veena, Mahak's mum. You must be (let's call him Bob for now) Bob! Sit, have a chicken wing!"
Dad: "Hi Bob. Nice to meet you. I'm Nikhil." *proceeds to shake hands with Bob* . "Can I get you a drink? Wine? Vodka? Rat poison? Kidding"
Bob: *overwhelmed* "Uhhh. Hi?"
Mum: *stage whisper* "Not very articulate, is he?"
Me: "MUM!"
Bob: "Nice to meet you.... Oh God! Is that the time? My cat needs surgery!"
Me: "Noooo BOB! COME BACK!"
Mum: "He has a cat? Let him go. I hate cats. Such horrible creatures"
Dad: "You said it. Let's eat"
.......
Maybe, I'm exaggerating but this could TOTALLY happen.
