correction:

She spells her name Vicky. And tonight I had to explain what matzoh ball soup is. In spanish. And a little bit about what Passover is. This to a woman who on the first day asked me if I was Catholic or Protestant.

The family is surprisingly normal. Andres and Vicky fight sometimes. And disagree. But there is definitely a level of respect. I suppose when the norm is living with your parents until age 40, the relationships are going to have to be different. The normalcy of the household makes it a little more weird to live here. Because I feel like that much more of an outsider.
