THE UMBRELLA - A TOUCHING STORY
On a rainy afternoon, a group of protesters were gathered outside the grocery store
handing out pamphlets on the“evils” of America. I politely declined to take one.
There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester offered
her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protester gently put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and in a patronizing
voice said, "Don't you care about the children of Iraq?"
The old woman looked up at her and said: "Honey, my father died in France during World War II,
I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam All three died so a naive, ignorant,
self-centered bimbo like you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country,
and if you touch me again, I'll shove this umbrella up your *** and open it."
