[Bit 1]

My mom is Thai.

My dad's Irish, so I'm Thai-rish.

[Bit 2]

My mom and I fight a lot.

My mom is about this tall, and she's brown, and she's mean.

And we argue a lot about things like,

she wants to be called Oriental.

And I'm like, mom, that's kind of racist.

People don't want to hear Oriental.

They want to be called you Asian.

And she says, Donna, I am from Oriental.

So we're in HEB fighting this out, right?

And the woman who's our cashier is trying to help my mom.

So she's getting a little louder trying to

say that my mom might understand her.

So she's screaming to my mom and trying to be a little louder.

Because if you're louder, people understand English better, right?

So we're at HEB and my mom and I are standing,

we're fighting at the cashier and the cashier leans over to my mom.

She goes, "Your total is 25.15.

Thank you for shopping at Eche Ebe.

Like she's not a deaf Mexican.

She's a mean ass Oriental lady.
