I was talking to my son one day about 15 years ago when he was in the 8th grade:
Son: "I'm meeting some friends after school."
Me: "Anybody I know?"
Son: mentioned a few names
Me "is *** **** from Viet Nam"
Son "Yes"
Me "Did you tell her I was in Viet Nam?"
Son "No"
Me: "Did you think that it might effect your friendship?"
Yes "uh, uh, yes"
My son is a terrific young man and ment no harm, he just gave me an honest answer.
But it broke my heart...
