We’ve been watching Modern Family daily these days with the kid, and last night’s episode (The Future Dunphys) has probably one of the most iconic comic scenes of its entire run where Lily goes to the restaurant. We couldn’t help but identify with Gloria’s predicament. We feel like we are losing (or lost) our kid to America and I dont feel good about it. I want my kid to be… umm less American and more Indian, but I feel like that battle’s already lost :(. Its hard to explain what being more Indian and less American is, but I am pretty sure a majority of desi parents like me relate to it in one way or other.
Well, I guess she could start by not talking back at me all the time I suppose, which is very much an American trait I think lol.
