I know that sounds pretty strange, but this really happened and, though I understand that you might be skeptical, I think it's actually a sign that my friend's heart is in the right place. It's not like he didn't notice this petite black girl's beautiful skin or her stunning good looks, it just never really occurred to him to think twice about it. All he sees when he looks at her is a beautiful gal that he's quite taken with.

I don't even remember precisely how it came about that we noticed he was surprised. I think someone just asked him once (a bit gauchely), if it ever caused tension that he and his gal were from different backgrounds. She moved to Montreal from New Orleans and I think we were talking about all the tension about such issues after the hurricane and the flooding.

In any case, whatever ill-conceived notions people have about how difficult it can be for two people from different backgrounds to get along should meet my friend and his petite black girlfriend because, truthfully, when I think of good relationships I think of these two.

I think the only argument I've ever seen these two have was over instant messaging manners, and even that came up, basically, because they couldn't get enough of each other. They both have Internet access at work and whenever they get a chance to chat with each other they take it. It's so cute that it makes cynical people like me a little nauseous. Anyway, one day they got in a tiff because one of them, and I can't even remember which one, never replied to a message. It wouldn't even have mattered, except the message was about who was supposed to pick up the bread they needed for a meal they were cooking for a bunch of friends. So there was no bread that night. If that was the biggest problem I encountered in a relationship I'd be a pretty happy guy.
