There is a new family in my home town. They moved here from Chicago. The family is comprised of a single mom and several children, one of whom is in the same class as my fiancé’s daughter.

Talk about culture shock. While playing some type of game - Nine Squares, I believe - Korii told me that they informed the new girl that she was tagged out. When she refused to leave the game, Korii told her that she was out and had to wait until this game was finished. Then she could start over with them.

The new girl, maybe trying to assert herself or maybe just because she is ignorant, told Korii, “Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you” until the new girl was in Korii’s face.

Korii replied, “Okay, I get it.”

Then the new girl asked, “Do you want to take this outside?”

Korii, with a gift for thinking on her feet that I could never reach, replied calmly, “Reality check. We ARE outside!”

The new girl was so flustered she just walked away.
