I've been told I'm "outspoken" by the English side. I sometimes feel like I'm an American time traveller from 2019 who has been sent to England in 1819.
I know when I've said something that my husband finds "inappropriate" among friends and family because he goes ghost white and looks like he's going to be sick. When he does that I know he's going to pull me aside at some point and tell me how embarassing I was. Once, I was walking with him and his mother when I could smell a very skunky smell, if you get what I mean. Like, it was so strong you couldn't not notice it. Anyway, I mentioned how strong the smell was and neither said anything. We were already walking in silence, and that made it even more awkard. Later, my husband said how horrified he was that I brought it up and that his mother had already spoken to him about how if I know what the smell is that I must either sell it or use it. Her logic made absolutley no sense, so I thought it would be best to speak to her to provide some clarity. Of course I was accused of shouting at her.
Oh well.
On another note, one of his cousins (who was about 7 at the time) was sitting on the couch, watching her brother and cousins play football in the garden. I asked her if she'd like to play, too, and said how I knew my husband and his brothers would play with her. She said, "I can't because I'm a girl." I told her she could do anything, especially play football, and that whomever has told her that wasn't very bright. It was her father who had told her that and he was sitting with us. Needless to say, I was pulled aside by my MIL for being "outspoken."
