UGH

i dont get it..i dont get what makes ppl take things at face value and then assume the worse??? why is it always about race and what someone else seems as wrong or right?? the last time i checked it wasnt against the law to go out to dinner with a friend...it wasnt against the law for him to be white and me to be black..i thought this was the 21st century..i thought it didnt matter anymore!! ugh it is beyond stupid and shallow and juvenile for someone to waste there time watching us and making it seem like we are doing something horribly bad and wrong when we are doing nothing..jim came and took me out for dinner for my birthday..we ate, talked, laughed, drank..usual stuff for us when we are out..yes we have been mistaken for a couple before..no big deal especially not with 8 kids trailing behind us when we are out..but sure we got some interesting looks but today walking out of the resturant this lady just looked at us like we were the most horrible ppl in the world :(..she knew nothing about us..nothing at all..no idea why it was we were out together..what we were doing..what we were talking about no..she just assumes we are dating or married..she assumes she knows more about us than we do..it was uncalled for..completely uncalled for..why cant anyone assume we are just friends..or that we have worked together for a year almost..we have gone through alot together and i would hope we were comfortable with each others company...we take it in stride..it comes in the fine print i guess but this time it really hurt ... its not fair ppl have to be so close minded and judgemental .. ugh...
