The conversation at her dinner table went from political sniping to personal attacks.
I waited for my friend to say something, but she did not. I said, “We disagree about this subject, so let’s not discuss religion or politics.” I began a conversation about other topics, but the cousin continued to make comments about undocumented people, open borders, school lunches, etc.
A few days later, I asked my friend why she did not stop the cousin from insulting my family. She denied hearing the insults and gave the excuse that she had had too much wine. My friend was seated beside me and had to have heard the remarks. I find this very rude. If I want to ask for something, I always say, “Are you busy tomorrow? Because I need a ride to the doctor” or whatever.
