ahahahaha I laughed when I read that your uncle isn't coming again. I don't know, but I find it pretty relatable because in our family we also prepare when someone from our immediate family visits us. My grandma really changes the curtains and sofa covers, and the plates that I didn't know existed come out during those visits—especially during our fiesta. It's really entertaining how you narrated your dread for your uncle's coming. I pretty much relate to the dread part because my immediate family tends to prod on my personal life, like how come you didn't have a boyfriend when you're already at college? to you're a brilliant girl; don't get pregnant early or else your life will be ruined—hearing such really makes me uncomfortable because I couldn't care less for those stuffs. Anyway, thanks for sharing such an entertaining read, @nancybriti1! I really enjoyed reading it.

I am always amazed how despite living in different countries and having different cultures, there are some familiar constants in the world!!! hahahaha. Greetings and nice day to you

Yes! There are really things that remain the same even though we're from different parts of the world, and I'm glad that I could relate to yours. Greetings also, and have a good day!
