tried to explain a power play to my mom and she thought that meant "the naughty player would get sent to the bad box and everyone would start hitting them with pucks"

#my mom wouldn't listen unless i said it in my mother tongue and i get by but it gets harder when i get worked up#which is why i was so fucking awful at explaining power play ghskdjfkdjfjg#but honestly. its sweet. it just feels really right to explain team canada hockey to my immigrant parents in my mother tongue over dinner#and like. pack biryani up for post-skating tmr while i do it#and it makes me sad for the younger version of me who felt like she had to pick one place to belong to over the other#or that despite growing up in a hockey city it wasn't For me bc brown girls can't go where white boys do#and it makes me proud to know that I ended up here anyway :)#u ever heard the name sidney crosby in a desi accent? my family has <3#anyway.#hockey#nhl#team canada#olympics 2026#team canada lb#olympics menho lb#team screams
