During the weekend, we took a family drive. It was a nice day, so I rolled down the window and let the breeze blow through the cabin. We hit a stop light. At the corner, there was a teen, couldn't have been more than 16 and what appeared to be his girlfriend. My car pulled up to the intersection and stopped. The kid sees me and says to his girlfriend, "Foreigner." She laughed. Rude all around. The rough way he said it, and tone of his voice was closer to "Fucking foreigner," than just "foreigner." The light changed, and I drove off.

Thinking aloud, I said, "I wonder why some people have to act like that?"

Sitting in a babyseat in the back seat, my kid piped up: "That's just something you're going to have to endure."

This coming from a three year-old, who still wets the bed. Well said. It's hard being different, but something tells me that Mini Bash is gonna be alright.
