Sit back, relax, and
let the curry powder smell take you away...
1. Setting off their first firework at the tender age of 7
Giphy
And then running for dear life as soon as it lights
2. The constant comparison between any other Indian child who BREATHES
Giphy
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
Giphy
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
Giphy
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?
Giphy
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
Giphy
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’
Giphy
And the smell following you into you're clothes, bags, and everything in between.
9. Your parents swearing that vapor rub will fix your rash,fever, and stress
Giphy
They put that on everything
10. Iconic brown people parties, that blows the American Red Cup party way out of the water
Giphy
First drink, spin the bottle, we invented the party game, son
