Dogma you know I have like more pajamas
than clothes like three full drawers of
pajamas it's crazy so yeah like growing
up I don't know we bought like cheap
stuff everything we bought was cheap
like our furniture for example like it's
cheap that looks good like if we if we
sat on certain places at the couch it
would like fall apart and break and it's
like meant for show you know it was all
night for show we weren't allowed to sit
on anything my in-laws they buy things
and they research it you know like
before before they make the purchase
there's like a whole research that
Consumer Reports they check the
company's history it's a whole thing you
know they come back later my parents
know they go in it looks good it's cheap
buy it supper later you know like our
shoes for example we had crappy shoes we
never knew like real leather existed so
we have like messed up feet because of
that till today yeah yeah so immigrant
life you know what I mean like we we our
school inches are extremely unhealthy
like we had like coke fruit roll-up
dunkaroos the healthiest part of our
lunch was our pizza and obviously I had
like chocolate spread in it my mom's
like it's good there's a fan beach in
the sand beach you know and wet and I
never knew like what whole-wheat bread
was like I went to my friend's house and
I was like why is your bread brown like
why do you brown bread in your house
what is that you know we were just like
is that cocoa bread and I led with this
my mom struggled with English here so
like she like
to memorize certain lines so every time
we went to different stores you had to
memorize like for example at the gas
station she knew when the gas attendant
would come to her window she rolled it
down and she would say $10 God's keys
that was her line she memorized it every
time so one time she went and she was
waiting in line and a really nice person
told her oh you can go before me you
know it's ok you could take my turn so
instead of thanking that person she's
like what is going on no clue what
happens
