I just don’t know what bothers me more about this video. The crazy desi parents yelling at their kid or the rabidly liberal two year old.

My mom has repeatedly bragged to me that when I was two years old, I walked up to a random person at the grocery store and asked, “Do you know who Idi Amin is? Faiqa does.”

I’m thinking that a dining table scene similar to the above YouTube clip occurred in my home prior to the Idi Amin incident.

I don’t know which is more tragic: that my mom is proud of that or that I actually have an “Idi Amin incident” in my life.

And thanks to Hadji is Dead for bringing up this painful flashback from my childhood.
