35. REACTIONARY??????!!!!!?????
Oops...sorry...I reacted... :7



Seriously though...reactionary would have been, "Fuck you and the flea-bitten donkey you rode in on!"


Personally, I don't think she's trying to protect her poor elderly aunt from your (gasp!!!) political views...

I think she's trying to protect HERSELF from the opinions of friends and relatives who might question her choice of people she associates with... i.e. not "their kind".


You handled it with class
:)
