You know your parents are desi when.......
- The famous: "hamburger, no meat, water, no ice, 3 cups, and 18 ketchups please"
- Talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house etc, etc.
- Loading up the family car with as many indians as possible when it's a "pay per car" entrance fee.
- Renting movies and splitting the cost with 2 other families and having the last family return it.
- Taking 30-45 minutes deciding which indian movie to watch when it only costs 25 cents!...then asking for a refund when it sucks.
- When you see a bath pail in a stand-up shower or tub
- When everyone gets the same Christmas present...a "buy one get one free" special
- When people show up late to a function...just in time for the food!
- Plastic covers anything new in your parents' house whether it is the remote control to the VCR or the new livingroom couch.
- Your parents only face straight when driving with both hands on the steering wheel and notice nothing but the road in front of them.
