wickedcherubI'm years late on this because I was getting sick of the meme, but it turns out my mum isn't especially cruel and unusual, seems like she's just a stereotypical Asian mum.
For some reason, it's awful and hurtful when it's just me, but when it's millions of people everywhere in this collective experience it's hilarious.
Besides the NO SHAKY LEG! thing my mum drummed into me, I was also given a stern look everytime I forgot to cover my mouth when I laughed. I didn't know it wasn't considered rude by most people until I was grown up but now it's too late and it's an ingrained habit.
Eta: Oh, there's Shit Asian Girls Say too, which was a lot what I was like each time I dated an Asian guy and definitely rings a bell with the people I know. Something to ponder.
