i'm pretty certain that my dad really does hate all muslims. whenever i try to talk sense to him, he gets very very upset, so i don't.

last night my grandma was telling us about how my cousin was with her in bj's and they had a cashier with gold teeth and my cousin asked him about them and why they didn't have diamonds. she told us they were called "grids" (which i didn't dispute because hey, maybe grandma is more up on this than i am and they really are called grids) and then she whispered "i hate to say it but it's always black people, they can't afford it"
