What Is Wrong With People?

So today Noby and I ran into Stop and Shop to pick up a few things.  As with every trip into the store I casually talk to Noby, not paying attention to the people around us.

Today as we wait at the deli, a “wise” old man starts talking to us.  The conversation went something like this…

Wise Old Man: He’s cute, Chinese?

Me:  Well… Japanese. (Looking away to try to end the conversation)

Wise Old Man:  Oh, well is the Dad Chinese?

Me:  Well he’s Japanese.

Wise Old Man: Oh right.  (long pause)  You know you can tell by their eyes.

Me:  Yup, I suppose so. (trying not to give him a dirty look) Well we’re off to find something for lunch. Bye.  Say goodbye Noby. (starting to walk away)

Wise Old Man:  Maybe get him some rice.

Me: (thinking to myself… just walk away, Becky, just walk away)

WTF!
