THE UMBRELLA - A TOUCHING STORY

On a rainy afternoon in New York City, a group of protesters were gathered outside the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the  “evils”  of America.
I politely declined to take one.
There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protester gently put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and in a patronizing voice said,
"Don't you care about the children of Iraq or our black children in America?"
The old woman looked up at her and said:
"Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam.
All three died so a naïve, privileged, ignorant, self-centred white bimbo like you
would have the right to stand here and badmouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll shove this umbrella up your a…and open it."
