Er, can you explain what you're meaning?

  I think OP is saying that Indian fathers will dress up their poverty in order to appear more virtuous than they actually are. Like grandpa who walked uphill to school both ways. I don't really agree with this racist aggrandizement of lived experiences, but I think that is what OP was getting at.

    Yep, exactly what I was getting at. It is a way common running joke. I should've realized HN is not the right place for such humor.

      You must be a woman with a sense of humor like that. Am I doing it right?
