My mother is strong, stubborn, and like many Asian mothers, overprotective.
My mother moved to the states in her thirties without knowing any English. After living in the United States for thirty years, my mother acclimated to the culture and had often surprised me with her progressiveness. But today wasn’t that day. Today, I called my mother because I wanted to share with her my plans to be engaged with my boyfriend and ask for her blessing. I could hear the panic grow in her voice. She began to shower me with questions.
