I'm at a friend's house playing poker. The friend's mom (an older black woman) sees my pocket Aces and tells me to raise. I'm annoyed that she's giving away my hand but politely ignore her. She tells me how much to raise and starts picking up my chips (which are pieces of bread) and begin putting them into the pot. I politely tell her I know how to play my own game. She says, "Then why don't you and Susannah go upstairs and do your homework?" I tell her we're not in school (even though Susannah is) and we have no homework and she should mind her own business. My tone is still polite though I'm speaking very firmly now as I tell her she's not our mother.
