once i did, to my mom. she's like this clean, good-mannered freak. i'll say, clean-freak. wants the house dusted clean until everything sparkles like diamonds.

she don't like it when i'm eating at a table and one of my legs is resting on a chair or not touching the ground, etc. one time, she told me not to sit with my legs on a chair and i said to her "this isn't China", and she got mad. wanna know why? Asians eat with manner and Americans are pretty sloppy. that's what ticked her off. i told her what i told 'cuz this is America and i can eat my meal, at my table, any helluva way i want to.
