My Cousin Jessica

Looks can definitely be deceiving, and the ladies working at a nail salon had to experience that first hand when they met my cousin Jessica. Jessica is a half vietnamese and American woman with a hot temper, which she got from my late uncle Buddy, who smoked cigarettes and once broke my piggy bank and took all of my change. Buddy Johnson did not take it from anybody and Jessica is the same way.

Jessica gets her mani's and pedi's like most women (stereotype?) do and she gets them done at an all Vietnamese salon. Even though she is half Vietnamese, you would never guess that she was because she looks 100% American. The woman doing her pedicure laughed at my cousin and told all of her friends, "This girl's feet are hideous." What she didn't know was that Jessica completely understood her. To make it awkward, my cousin acted like she was talking to someone on the phone and spoke in understandable Vietnamese after she heard this. There wasn't a word spoken between all the ladies in the nail salon after this.
