Message:: [QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 185239, member: 78"]Hi,  My most embarrassing moment was when I was asked to baby sit my new wife's four year old niece from Utah. April and I were sitting on a bus going home. She was all over the seat and trying to look out of the window, bending down to look at the floor. I became a bit cross and said "April sit down, you are getting all dirty and your mother will kill you and me". April then stood on the seat and faced the back. All of a sudden i hear April say " Oh boy your mother is going to kill you when you get home. I never saw anybody as dirty as you are." I turned around and this elderly black man was sitting in the next seat behind us. I wanted to drop into the center of the earth. This was in the 60s during the riots. The gentleman saw my face and said " Don't worry I find it was very funny. Your daughter isn't from around here is she?" I said she was my niece and from out west and I do not think she ever saw a black person before. He just smiled and said it's alright. We got off three stops later.greg[/QUOTE]
