this made my morning.....

only family is allowed to make fun of family.....




from - a. nwen



the pyramid of cousins = the pyramid of personalities

goes like this:

tanto
is DYING...his head is down. [read: tanto is always tired looking. we
know that. wakes up in the morning, 19 year old tee shirt with tattered
edges, tormented by his allergies, working like a dog, wrapped up in
intellectual thought all the time, mentally and physically ragged.]

ike looks a bit awkward in a dress... [read: awkward in a dress.
awkward in a human pyramid. awkward in groups, especially when
over-extroverted americans are involved. shy girl in the corner.
supports the husband. will run the household. ready and fertile.]

erwin has his shades on and his butt is on his heels.........[read:
fashion has-been. glory days in the 90s. anchor pose shows stability
and constant sense of strategy in all situations. don't f*ck with me,
kind of guy. i'm the first born son of a chinese family.]

u
look like u're having fun....[read: clueless daughter in law making a
fool of herself in front of her critical in-laws. but californian
upbringing says, screw it! i'm having fun whenever the heck i feel like
it! and no, my eggs are not available for group discussion.]

im just the big guy in the middle...[read: high school jock. always
ready for a scrimmage. only half indo football player in history of
medanese clan. keystone in the pyramid. glue that binds. keeps in touch
with all cousins. talks to all the elders, but still misunderstood. big
on the outside, but secretly wanting to be kobe on the inside. ]

and kim is just ballistic....[read: youngest, cutest, lightest cousin
on top. diffuses tension with her bubbles. the crispy muffin top of the
muffin. fearless ABC female. will try anything once. anything. and if
there's a camera around, even better!]
