typical desi parent stuff </3

It's a Saturday and I planned on waking up at 10 because I NEEDED the sleep.

Mother dearest enters the room at 9:00 am sharp and tells me it's 10:30 which obviously scares the shit out of me </3

WHY DO ALL BROWN PARENTS RESORT TO THIS WHEN THEY NEED TO WAKE THEIR OFFSPRING

So yesterday I was sitting with my mother. Normally we don't see eye to eye but sometimes, just sometimes, we share nice moments.

It was one of those.

So I naturally brought up our Shastras and how they also support homosexuality. And she was like what are you talking about and then I gave her some mythology examples and how South have trandgender gods too. Everything like that you know.

I mean I was fumbling a bit and like I didn't really express it the right way- all my research. It was like that episode where Sarge tries to make this singing guy quit the job so he can be paid for his promotion and remain in 99th precinct. Rosa tells him the Ellen story and he totally reverses it when he recounts it to that theater loving guy.

Anyways so then she was like what are you trying to say? Are you homosexual?

And I freaked out guys. I mean eventually i wanted to break it out to her but not that day instantly. I panicked so hard. I was like nooooo I just like searching up random things and then I diverted her and talked about psychology.

But I had a moment. I could have told her. But I couldn't. I just couldn't. If I fell in love with a woman I had literally planned beforehand I would marry some guy as my beard if I had to but I won't be telling them I am bi. I am that scared and idk why. I just am.

I just know they won't take it well. And then I think what will be the point of telling them I am bi if I do end up with a man?

I just idk I am way too scared to tell them. I atlest want to have some sort of security like a job and not living under their roof so that nothing really bad could happen you know

Did someone's parent say that ?lol. Ironically my parents who live in India quite liked the cover - more than the original.

This particular desi parent was quite...particular lol. She criticized her daughter’s accent too.

Indian Parents.

Me: Another friend of mine has a boyfriend and her parents are so happy with the guy.

Mum: That's so cute. All you girls are growing up. Look how they've found such nice boys, why can't you?

Me: Mah, you and daddy won't let me date.

Mum: It's not your age yet! *walks out of my room*

Me: *whispers* But I'm 20...
