If you are a Chinese NEVER tell your mom about your private life.

If you are a Chinese NEVER tell your mom about your private life. Since our grandparents and great grandparents had about 10 kids each we have 10 million living relatives and non-relatives who are also called aunties. This means there is 90% chance your mom will tell auntie A who will tell auntie B who will tell auntie C ... to auntie N where N is a very large number :). I guess there is only 2 degrees of separation in the overseas Chinese community so this makes it doubly worse.
