The Indian family is notorious for "interference." When a young couple decides to buy a sofa, the mother-in-law must approve the color. When a teenager cuts their hair short, the grandmother will cry for two hours. But flip the coin: when the couple gets into a fight, the same interfering mother-in-law will force the husband to apologize. "Look at her face? She looks sad. Go say sorry," she commands.
Perhaps the most poignant is the Last Roti . In every Indian kitchen, the cook (usually Mom) makes exactly one more roti than is needed. As everyone goes to bed, she wraps it in foil and leaves it on the counter. Why? In case someone wakes up hungry. In case the son comes home late from a party. In case the cat wants some.
