| You're Probably Chinese if... You remember or still use "the bowl" for haircuts. Your folks never speak under 10 decibels at family gatherings. You inform the ticket clerk that your 15 year old is 14 to avoid paying adult fare. You would drive around the block 10 times rather than pay for parking. You would stand in line for hours and hours for a free gift whether you needed it or not. You have a relative or friend who works as a waiter or cook. You prefer your chicken and shrimp served with heads and feet still attached. You have a vinyl tablecloth on your kitchen table. You spit bones and other food scraps on the table (that's why you need a vinyl tablecloth). Your parents know how to launch nasal projectiles. You buy on sale 100 rolls of toilet paper and store them in a closet or in a vacant room when your adult child moves out. You boil water and put it in the refrigerator. You use grocery bags to hold garbage. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottles that you take every time you stay in a hotel. You know what the term "FOB" and "ABC" means. You never eat fried foods when you're sick (it creates phlegm and hot air). You know someone who can get you a good deal on jewelry or electronics. You eat every last grain of rice in your bowl, but don't eat the last piece of food on the table. You fight over who pays the dinner bill. You live with your parents and over 30 years old (and they like it that way). And if you're married, you live in the apartment next to your parents, or in the same neighborhood. You beat eggs with chopsticks. You never order for room service. Your parents are never satisfied with your grades. You buy rice in 25kg sacks. You wash rice 2 to 3 times before you cook it. You steam something on top of your rice while it�s cooking. You pick your teeth at the dinner table, but you cover your mouth. You have a rice cooker to check in at the airport when you travel. You have piles of shoes and slippers blocking the entrances to your home. You call all your parents� friends "auntie or uncle". You get nothing if you do well in school, but get in big trouble if you don't. I didn't write this stuff myself. Friend emailed to me. |
