Trip Home (12 of 13): Kids.

When my friends and their 2 kids were over at my parents' house to go fishing - the oldest kid is obsessed with fishing, and will go out morning to night if he has a chance - the younger one, who's like 4, had trouble with his Spiderman fishing pole.

"Chinese junk!", the kid was like, and then his older brother responded, "The Chinese can't make anything good!".

My friends eyes shot open, and the husband was like, "Where did you hear that?" - at which the mom was like, "I bet your father" - and it turns out that the kids did in fact hear that from their one granddad, who says stuff like that.

"And how would a Chinese person feel if they heard you say that?", I asked the 2 kids.
