A+ per usual
Sometimes during this I thought, "I must be ethnic!" Sometimes, that is. Mostly I was like, "Oy vey, gabagoush!"

this was a fabulous episode. I loved hearing about how the households would be preparing for guests that never came. I wonder if it was this ultimate comparison to the Amercia from the 50's that became so idealized? (plastic covers for the sofa, anyone?)
And I could hear Patrice talk in her Trinidadian accent all day :D |

I think this was my favorite episode so far. I can feel myself identifying through my father's stories about his childhood - his parents were born and raised in Baghdad. My cousin and I are the first granddaughters of the family, and when we started learning reading and writing in the first grade, my Grandmother decided to learn it too. |
What a relief!
It was a breath of fresh air to listen to this show while on my way to group. It made me feel normal growing up as a Canadian-Haitian. YEP my parents are from Haiti and always thought not only my parents but Haitian parents all together are crazy.
The constant battle of old, Caribbean ways and I mean weird homemade remedies where Castor Oil heals EVERYTHING, the stove full of aluminum foil on the inside. Hard ass plastic on the couch, taking a bath with a bucket, IN THE BATHTUB (i'm cringing right now) and so much more. Thank You Chemda for this show I appreciate it! |
