I see my life as temporal increments of nagging from my mom, other Yellow relatives, and family friends. Through their Yellow lens, life is not a series of achievements or milestones. It is defined solely by what is deficient and lacking.
When you're single:
How come no boyfriend?
Why are you still single?
What's wrong with you?
When you're in a relationship:
When are you two going to get married?
Has he proposed yet? Why not?
What's wrong with you?
When you're engaged:
How long before marry?
Why is your engagement so long?
What's wrong with you?
When you're married:
When are you going to have your first baby?
How long you wait before having kids?
What's wrong with you?
When you have you first child:
Congratulations - when is the next child coming along?
Have you begun saving for Harvard yet (Yale, safety)?
What's wrong with you?
When you have two children, one boy, one girl, both Harvard-educated:
Your son and daughter married with children yet?
How come you not ask them why not married? They should be married by now.
What's wrong with them?
And what's wrong with you?
