This post was just hilarious and insightful... I'm Starting to notice that some of the stuff my parents done are rubbing of on me as I 'discipline' my daughter. Crazy how our parents are so similar and we might grown up and be like them *yikes*

Oh my gosh. I laughed so hard my neighbours must have thought I have company. I migrated to the UK after growing up in Kenya but have experienced some of it with my nigerian and ghanaian friends in the UK. Priceless.

I'm Jamaican-Canadian and I can relate.

I am laughing so very hard. It's wonderful to see that we, as children of immigrants share common experiences.

As for the mesh of cultures, I can fully relate to being called a 'sell-out' but as far as i am concerned, the beauty of culture is one's ability to take scraps from the various culture's that form a cosmopolitan and combining them in your own way. As Salman Rushdie said, we are all 'mongrels' culturally speaking and that is something to be embraced.
