AWKWARD MOMENTS

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

My adopted cousin, who is Chinese, was over at my house for some family thing. She was in the kitchen, and I was watching television, my grandpa (who lives with us and fought in World War II) came out of the kitchen and said something like, "So, who's that Jap in the kitchen?" As he said this, my cousin stepped into the room, heard him, and just stood there for a second, I looked up, and she just ran out of the room. That was pretty awkward.

(For clarification, it was my cousin on my mom's side, and my grandpa on my dad's side.)
