I admit that I will be checking out Kyttyn's FB. I admit that I thank dovie and the rest of you who love my Things. I admit that I just left a teenage boy of Indian decent speechless at the grocery store, where he is a cashier. I admit that I was angry that he was rushing an elderly man in front of me, through the credit card machine/get your bag and get out of here because your questions bother me type scenario. I admit that the boy said something that I knew was not very nice, in Hindi, under his breath, while the old man gathered his bags to leave. I admit that I waited until he started scanning my stuff and said (in my extremely limited Hindi vocabulary), "Shame on you." (loosely translated) I admit that his eyes practically bugged out of his head. I admit that I gave him a sly smile and said, "Remember where you're from, dahling. It's not nice, no? He's your elder," then gave him my card to look at. I admit that I said, "See the last name? Not every white person is as white as you may think." And I winked at him, knowingly. I admit that he said, "Yes, ma'am," and handed me my things very sheepishly. I admit that my last name is Sinhalese, not Hindi, but it got the point across in a way that he will, hopefully, not soon forget. *edited for missing word*
