Haiku - One Bill or Two? (Day 11)
Sunday • 07:58 PM • 5 comments
Inter-race couple
Eat breakfast, lunch or dinner.
So? One bill or two?
The above haiku is my "wordplay" on something that kind of bugs me. About 50% of the time that Firda and I go out for dinner we are always asked it we want one bill or two. What I would like to know is if other couples get this? Couples who are in their early 30s.
What I feel is that because Firda and I are of different races they make the assumption that we are just friends and not a couple. I don't want to call it racist - since these people are just making an assumption, but it kind of bugs me.
Nas and Kaley. Does this every happen to you (being another interracial couple)? How about the rest of you?
