uncle desmond

my host dad is freaking hilarious, oh my gosh. here's a few entertaining stories for you:

#1: the night of auntie sandra's birthday, after everyone had left, a man came up to our door begging for money. auntie sandra was there and telling him to leave. when he wouldn't leave, uncle desmond started shouting, "what is that man doing begging at 12 o clock at night? tell him to leave sandra or else i'll make him leave!" when he wouldn't leave uncle desmond ran to the back of the house and came out with a HUGE machete! he ran up to the gated door, waving the machete at the man, saying "you need to leave now! get out of here!" i was trying so hard not to laugh but it was quite a funny sight to behold.

#2: on saturday night after our day at the beach, i was walking out of the shower and into the kitchen when uncle desmond walked in, looked at me and said, "whats up my nigger?!" lol, i dont think i have ever laughed so hard in my life, which caused him and and auntie sandra to start laughing too. here is this 60 year old man saying something that, in america is almost taboo, while to him it's no big deal. he asked me, "hasn't anyone ever called you a nigger before?" i told him no and that made him laugh even more. so now he jokes with me all the time about calling me a nigger and saying that i'm no longer a whitey. lol, i absolutely love this guy.
