Ignorance is NOT Bliss, it's Just Plain Rude

Today we speak in blurbs:

Edgar came with me to meet family that was in from Pakistan.

Family sits around table conversing with us.

Cousin from Pakistan, 13 year-old male, threatens my boyfriend the second he walked through the door.

Cousin's parents say and do nothing to stop their child from being so rude.

Cousin insults Edgar repeatedly.

Parents do nothing to stop him from running his mouth.

Jenny and Edgar boil inside, but bite their tongues- they realize that there exists a culture clash.

Jenny and Edgar leave that house in disbelief, but remember that they are dealing with a child.

Jenny apologizes to Edgar, and is embarrassed and ashamed at her family's behavior.

Both Jenny and Edgar wish they could have punched a certain someone.

Jenny regrets not speaking up, but knows that everything happens for a reason.

We realize that we are better than what could have been had we let this ignorance get under our skin.

"Mendez, take a look at the hooters that are about to come through the door. They're huge! I mean, she could knock her kid over if turns around fast enough!"

"Excuse my tits!"
-Carmen-

"I don't think I look like her....my nipples are hard!"

"I'm late. You're gonna be a father."
-Lilly- (lol, yep, she was talking to me!)
