Dancing with the Multiracial Stars

Fox News was on, but it was a commercial break... something about investing in gold. I had gone upstairs to make some lunch. As I was assembling my plate of food, my grandma got started about "Dancing With the Stars" and her reactions to it the night before.

"A lot of people say that, Krist-, Brendal-, ...." She stops.

"Bristol?" I piped in.

"BRISTOL, yes, Palin" she continued, "people say she is only on because of Sarah, her mother."

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this, but I was sure it was going to somehow tie into politics. But she caught me off gaurd...

"I think they're right. Bristol is still on the show, but her dances just aren't as good as everyone else's."

Right as my eyebrows started to rise from these unexpected comments...

"There was this, gosh, I don't know whether she was mexican, or black, but she danced great, and got good scores from the judges, but was voted off!"

My eyebrows fell to optimum levels, I smiled and thought, "Now THAT'S my grandma."

I sat down at the table with my lunch just as the commercials were over.

Fox News was on.
