I listened to all 48 hours of the audiobook of her memoir that came out recently and this tracks. She recorded the audiobook herself and it is chock full of these kind of asides. I’m a fan of her musicals but not a super fan and still found it a super interesting insight into the last 70 years of Broadway, Hollywood, and the recording industry. Not as dishy as Cher’s, but more workmanlike and wide ranging.

This is exactly how my mom texts

When my daughter came out to her 84 year old grandmother (not complaining, she was overwhelmingly loving and supportive) she got to spend the next hour hearing about every queer person my mom has ever encountered/worked with/been friends with in her entire life and their individual stories. The highlight was when she was the manager at a dry cleaner’s and SO many lesbians applied there, which clearly meant lesbians have an affinity for professionaly cleaning garments.

When meeting my white ex girlfriends family (i’m black) and spending a week with them, about five days into the the trip, whilst helping bake pies at her grandmother’s house, said grandmother out of nowhere started telling a story about how she dated a black man once in the 60’s while she lived in California
I couldn’t tell whether to feel annoyed or flattered that she was trying to relate. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about it all afternoon since I keep seeing this and it does make me laugh

I love how she’s such an old lady that she thought about her being Chinese and went into a rant about her childhood. It’s kinda endearing that no matter how iconic she is she’s just a normal grandma that can’t stay on topic lol.

Im cracking myself up because the image preview I see is has some of the quote cut off so it looks like shes saying “they lived above us and they were a Chinese” and im just thinking “phrasing, barb”

my brother’s new girlfriend is indian and when he first brought her home to my parents, my mom spent 30 minutes listing off different kinds of indian food that she knew in order to keep conversation going. I got a text from him saying please hurry up and get home so he didn’t have to deal with this alone lmao
This is actually cute. It reminds me of my grandma when I texted her that I adopted a cat and she asked about his name. I said “Frankie”. And she responded “Pretty. Aunt Katias first husband name was Frankie. He k*lled himself 👎 very cute kitty tell him I love him”

I can tell this is well intentioned, but also like — what does her being half Chinese have to do with winning a gold? Maybe I’m missing some context? I’d love to hear the funny anedoct if a white girl had won, LMAO. Ok, I get it, she’s old, don’t come at me, but still…
