Mothers and daughters
Today I observed three different conversations between mothers and daughters. I don't know if it's a cultural thing (they were all Filipina) or on a wider scale, but each conversation had plenty of similarities:
----
I need to work on my posture when sitting down. Damn.
- There was yelling (or raised voices) numerous times during conversation.
- Playful "You're dumb/gay/stupid/an idiot" name-calling
- Questions about work and school (another Damn-We're-Getting-Old example)
- Something about money
- The obligatory "Did you eat?" from the moms.
