Busia's Foreign Policy

After a discussion about the Islamic center controversy, I was kind of lecturing to Busia that, instead of engendering hate & fear & pointing out everyone's differences, we should be finding common ground, Busia exclaims, "I'll tell you something right now, I don't like the Hispanics!"

Busia's idea of small talk:

So...you ever been bean pickin'?

Yesterday, Busia locked both her car and house keys in the house. She called me at work & I had to leave to go let her in the house. When I arrived, she said "Open Sesame!" (To be fair, this really was just returning the favor, as Busia once rescued me for doing the same thing!)

Busia's "proud to be Pow-wish" pose. Note fist raised in victory!
