Sometimes I'm a real moron.
The other day I was at Josh's grandparent's place. they're really lovely people, and despite the fact that I don't think his grandfather can hear me half the time, I feel really welcome there.
So I was talking to his grandfather, who's originally from Hungary, and he was talking about how he left his country and went to uni at Sydney. I, with all my tact, asked "why did you leave Hungary?". He told me that his friend and he left to go to uni elsewhere.
I was talking to Josh later and told him that his grandfather seemed a bit quiet after that... and Josh was like "yeah, he's Jewish and there was this thing called the 2nd World War!"
Man, I felt like such a cultural putz!
