So gramma has always thought that i was a little strange... she watches me do things and then tells me that thats not how normal people do it... or maybe she insults me somehow and so i deal with it by starting to sing really loud or dance around to change the subject (new subject: i'm crazy)...
So i started to do random things during the day to solidify this common notion that i may in fact be a little weird...
Gramma has a normal routine of getting her dinner and then taking it to the living room to watch TV. The other day, as she was getting her dinner, i stared at her really hard (almost glaringly), and then when she asked me why i was staring, i didnt say anything and immediately, without smiling, began raising my hand firmly and repeatedly. she shook her head at me and left the room. (i was still raising my hand). After she left, my bro asks, "What're you doing?" i answered..."trying to make gramma think im crazy by doing weird things". He said, "Oh... shes coming back! do it again!"
Then yesterday, we were standing in the kitchen and i was eating some snacks one of which involved an avocado and salsa... she made comments about how since coming back from Philadelphia I eat all this "white folks" food, which really means non-Asian food. Then i put salsa on the pit of the avocado and put it in my mouth like i was gonna eat it. She starts asking loudly, "you cant eat that! who taught you to eat it that way?" i just smiled, nodded, and said, "mmhmm..."
OH man... i need to get a life...

This is why we get along. We are some of the few who still pull this kind of crap, I think. Also, raising your hand reminds me of someone who is determined, a worker, intense, a good worker, a hard worker, and terrific.
