We had White Trash Day in the office today to celebrate the holiday. This posed some problems to my Indian co-worker who had no idea what "white trash" was. When asked who she thought was more white trash - co-worker Jennifer or me - she picked Jennifer which resulted in a fit of giggles and mock outrage. When explained it wasn't just a state of mind, it was also a way of dressing, Priya revised her vote and selected me.
Here's the cute part. She googled "white trash" so she could find out what to wear. And, even after finding out it's "those people on Jerry Springer", she chose to accessorize with nothing more than a blue tye-dyed bucket hat while the rest of the gang showed up with mullet wigs, fake guts, and blacked out teeth.
And that's why I love Priya and our cultural differences.
