Annotation: Born to a Chinese father and German mother, Sandra Tsing Loh tells dark comic tales of the improbable blending of her parents' diverse cultures in their middle-class Southern California home.

The first sketch recounts the saga of two successive stepmothers who come to reorganize her widowed father and her childhood home. In the second, the family travels to Ethiopia for an affordable vacation complete with new friends (German tourists) and economical transportation (a bus). Finally, Loh provides a glimpse into her teenage love life with its trials and tribulations.
