>>Haha<<

IG=Indian Girl
M=mother (hers)
GM= grandmother (hers but rest assured, anything with old crochety people is vastly entertaining)


M: I'm thinking about finding a groom for you
IG: *horrified* Why?
M: You are taking too long than a normal time an Indian girl would take to find a husband. Its disgraceful.
IG: Its only been 6 months since you talked about marriage
GM : *cackling* did you hear that M, only 6 months! In my time, we would have given birth to a child.
IG: it takes 9 months to give birth. stop exaggerating.
M: Don't be rude to your elders. See, this is precisely why you are not getting a husband. Always yakking
GM: Its all these new fangled technology business that takes so long. In my time, Push! and its over.
IG: Its a factual error! You'd be pushing for days! And anyway, my Chinese friends all haven't got husbands and they're okay. Their mothers aren't down their throats.
M: *horrified* how dare you! They're of a different culture.
GM: *wails* This is precisely why I told your husband 30 years ago when he wanted to come to Singapore, nothing doing. Stay in India and be happy. Singapore! my foot. I told him his daughter will turn out to be one of those cabaret dancers you see on TV. Did he listen? No. Nobody ever listens to me anyway. I'm just a dried up old women. No respect anymore. Even my own grandchildren are questioning my pain. 6 months and only I know the pain. If I didn't suffer would you be here to disrespect me like this? Its all this technology that is emboldening them.
M: *gasp* Do you have a technological boyfriend? Is that it? You are determined to bring disrespect to our doorstep. All our reputation gone. Talking back to your grandma and upsetting her like this. What will people think?
GM:*whispers* I have a heart condition you know.
IG : *rolls eyes* Its an E boyfriend and no, I don't have one. And what about all the Chinese friends of mine who married at a so called respectable age?
GM: *mulishly*That's different. They eat meat.
M: *wails* I'll never get you married off!! No e-tech- boyfriend also. Even a boy who hasn't seen you doesn't want you. You will disgrace the good name of this household.
