Subject: Butterscotch Pride

My sister was talking to me about how Hispanics have this "brownie pride". That's what they call it, so I hear. So we started talking about what kind of pride would we have. And then we talked about that word "twinkie", though I much prefer "cracker" myself, and my sister started going into why she didn't agree with that term for us in particular. She said, "We're not yellow with white insides." Something weird like that. And she mentioned someone once calling her one of those wheat thins, or wheat crackers, because it's kind of yellow. I then said for the sheer stupidity of the moment, "I want to be butterscotch pudding." She said, "But, you can't. That's like.. creamy, and you're not creamy, you're just pale. Pale and white. Evil, white, vampire; Asian vampire." Umm, thanks. Ruin my butterscotch pride will ya.

We have the greatest talks as well. She was telling me some of her work and other-type stories. So she earned a few new nicknames.

She began to tell me a story, "I was talking with my boyfriend and then he called me.." and she paused, as if in thought.
I finished her sentence, "Fuzzy bums?"
"Umm.. no.." She replied in a sort of childish, embarrassed, joking sort of giggly-without-the-giggles way. "He called me.."
"Walking hickey?"
"Nooo.." She replied in an even more exaggerated way than before, her eyes lost on the floor and making a sort of sad puppy face.

I thrive on being spitefully sarcastic and cruel to my older siblings.
