Hahaha! This girl is expressing her frustration with certain aspects of Armenian culture. But she's making me like it all the more!
Ah... these are my people! 
This girl reminds me of my sister-in-law, a second generation Greek. I could write a sit-com based on their family interactions. One example. My brother's neighbor put in an elaborate pond and landscaping to attract birds, especially geese. Irene's dad was coming over to visit, saw a goose crossing the road and intentionally ran it over, brought it in, and cooked it.

the neighbors don't like him...
I should quit while i'm ahead, but i can't stop. The same neighbor, came over to a party. She stood there in the middle of a crowd nursing her, i'm gonna say, three year old son! Everybody's shocked, but nobody's saying anything. Until Irene's dad arrives. He takes one look at her, and launches into three or four minutes of dramatic hand-waving Gringlish.
I'm with you Ancilla....old world people, these are my kind of people.
