Runs in the Family



This is a picture of Mom and her sisters. Laughing. The exact way that my siblings and I behave when we are in the same room together.

There were about 10 of us crammed into Bina's tiny room. Bina's family has a Bhel tree(a slimy, gross fruit). To eat it, you crack it like a coconut on the ground, but the fruit itself breaks into 3-4 pieces. In this case it broke into 3. Mom and her 2 sisters got a piece each. The rest of us just sat there watching them eat it, pin-drop quiet. Mom's youngest sister breaks the silence by saying in Hindi, "Everyone watching the three fat sisters eat". The room went into the loudest, longest laughter I've heard in a very long time.

Good Times.
