I go to Au Bon Pain by my job around the same time each day to get my cup o’ tea.

On one of those days while I was fixing my tea one of the workers was standing by me. I figured he needed to grab the hot water thing to refill it etc., or clean up the area. I hurried up and was grabbing a lid by where he was standing, and he started talking and said, “um..”. I quickly answered, “Oh, I’ll be out of your way in a second.”

About this time I’m trying to go as fast as I can, and I’m about to leave when he says, “Uh, what uh, nationality are you?” OK, I was caught totally off guard, so I was like, “Huh?! What?!”. He repeated his question, and I said, “Oh, sorry I didn’t hear you. I’m 1/2 Japanese.” I figured that would do it and was trying to go on my merry way… “Wow… What’s the other 1/2?”… Here I am thinking to myself, “Darn, why did I have to say “1/2″…” I told him my father was white, and he then said, “Damn! Your two races need to get together again and make more of you! You are really beautiful…”

I quickly said “thanks” and could not stop laughing – not so much because I was flattered because I personally think I’m normal looking and obviously every guy is “testosterone-al” – but I found what he said to be outright HILARIOUS. I think I laughed in his face too… But come on now… who wouldn’t keep laughing at that line… Classic… LOL!
