While at home my mom and I went out to get our nails done. While the little oriental girls are doing our toes she says "I want a flower." "Mom your way out of the jr high age bracket and your white, you don't need a flower." Unfortunately the orientals (by the way no rasicm here) pick up on the word "flower" and start selling. "You need flower, so pretty! You need flower!" So my mom gets a flower and then they won't leave me alone. So I think ok its just a flower and if I hate it I can take it off. So they start pulling out all these colors and gem stones and I start freaking out. Again no racism but I typically think of black ladies with 3 inch nails covered in nail art, not my toes. So my first thought is "AGH!" and my second thought is "Wait - I kinda like it..." And really they've grown on me ever since. Thank you little oriental girl, you were tipped well.
