China Man

I'm sitting in my office minding my own business, listening to my iPod when the Admin stands in my doorway and starts to talk.  Clearly, I had on my headphones but she insisted on standing in the doorway and talking to me.  Eventually, I put the song I was listening to on pause (By the way, it was Tony Toni Tone's Anniversary).  She began to talk about how she visited her sister over the weekend and her little nephew.  She proceeds to tell me about how cute her nephew was and how he was adopted from China.  Then she started to reenact the encounter including how she taught the kid to make faces.  Next thing I know she said she and her husband kept saying to this little boy, her nephew, "Come here you little Chinaman." 

If her sister, the child's adopted Mother, is anything like the admin that child is going to have some problems. And I sigh.
