Donna Lee

My mom is Thai. My dad's Irish. I'm Ty Irish. It's the whole thing. But I went through a divorce a really long time ago. And my mom called me with her very heavy accent. And she goes, Donna. Donna, now you get divorced. Nobody want you no more. Donna, you have too much emotion. luggage. I said, Mom, it's baggage. Emotional baggage. And she said, see, you know you have it. I'm like, look. That's not nice. I don't think I care for that. And she said, Donna, you have to get on something on the computer to meet new man. I have a friend. She has a girl your age, and she get divorced too because she's stupid like you. And she have to get on computer on application where she meet the man, Donna. I said, Mom, a dating app. And my mom goes, Donna, you have to get on something. something called Christian Meathole. And I said, Mom, it's Christian mingle. And she goes, that's what I said. I was like, that's not what you said. I don't think it's appropriate, by the way. You're Asian, you're Buddhist, and I can't get on a Christian dating at mom. And she goes, Donna, if the man good looking, he have a lot of money. You're Christian now. I'm Donna, thank you.

Hey everybody. How we doing? You good? My name's Donna Lee. I have a very critical Asian mom. My mom is Thai. My dad is Irish. So I'm Tish. I had to tell my parents one day that I was going through a really gnarly divorce. And so my mom was very critical of my life decisions. She was very upset. I was gonna be single forever. So one day I am in the car going to Austin. To Houston and my mom called and she said, Donna, Donna, how come you're alone? You're so very, very alone. I worry for you. And I said, why am I alone? Let's unpack that together. I said, I'm alone because you and dad proved the inability to show me love and affection as a child. And you never uttered the words. I love you. And because of that, I can't meet a man of substance. I can't create lessing connections and I can't hang onto a relationship for more than a few months at a time because I'm constantly, I will always be looking for something that I cannot find mom. That's why I'm alone. Damn darn. Nine. I just asked why you go to Houston alone. Thank you. That's my minute. Thank you.

Yeah! Yeah! Hi, everybody. My mom is Thai. My dad's Irish, so I'm Thai-rish. My mom and I fight a lot. My mom's about this tall and she's brown and she's mean. And we argue a lot about things like she wants to be called Oriental. And I'm like, mom, that's kind of racist. People don't want to hear Oriental. They want to be called you Asian. And she says, Donna, I am from Orient. I'm Orient. So we're in HEB fighting this out, right? And the woman who's our cashier is trying to help my mom. So she's getting a little louder trying to say that my mom might understand her. So she's screaming to my mom and trying to be a little louder. Because if you're louder, people understand English better, right? So we're in HEB, and my mom and I are standing. We're fighting at the cashier. And the cashier leans over to my mom, and she goes, your total is $25.15. Thank you for shopping at Etch-a-eh-bah. I'm like, she's not a deaf Mexican. She's a mean-ass Oriental lady. Thank you, that's my minute. Thank you. Thank you.
