Not too long ago, my Old Man told me about an incident that happened in the early days of our dating life.
At the time, he lived in Astoria, Queens.
I went to visit him.
His roommate's mother was visiting from Israel. I was introduced to her and we went about our business.
Not too long after that, the roommate laughingly told my Old Man that her mother said, "Oh...she (meaning me) looks like one of the INTELLIGENT ones."
Nice, huh?
Would've been just as offensive if I had turned to my then-boyfriend and said, "OH! She looks like one of the GENEROUS ones!"
