M&M: Manam & Mariyathai

My uncle’s face was red like a tomato when he kicked my cousin out of the house.

He called my cousin a ‘disgrace to the family’ and threw a couch at him.

He told my cousin, ‘You’re not worthy of this name!’ and then ate three pizzas to cool down.

My mom showed up and said, ‘You’re not a man if you can’t handle a little respect.’

She told my dad, ‘You act like a child, and I’m not even mad.’

She walked into the room like she owned the place and said, ‘You’re not even trying.’

My dad said, ‘I won the bet, so I get the last slice of pizza.’

He told my mom, ‘You’re a disgrace to the family, and I’m not even mad.’

He took the last slice of pizza and said, ‘This is your punishment for being a disgrace.’

My dad’s pride was so big, it knocked my mom out of the house.

He said, ‘I don’t need your respect, I’ve got my own.’

He told my mom, ‘You’re not even worth the fight.’ and then went to sleep.

My mom took one look at my dad and said, ‘You’re not even trying.’

She beat his pride into the ground and took the last slice of pizza.

She told him, ‘You’re not a man if you can’t handle a little respect.’ and then ate three pies.
