Two cracks...

...by the husband of a (white) couple who I know from college and caught up with this summer:

1) When I meet their kids for the first time and ask how old they are -- their older daughter is 11, and their younger son is like 7 or 8 --  I tell their daughter, "You know, you are closer in age to the age that I first met your parents, than the age when we first met to how old we are n..." -- and immediately the dad jumps in and is like, "No, we are not playing that game."

2) When we are out and about, we pass by a hospital, at which the husband comments that both the kids were born there, and so I turn and start applauding at it, and immediately he's like, "You should be applauding [his nickname for his wife's first name]."
