Wow, so you’re naming your adopted Chinese baby today? Awesome!

“Nick, how could you be so insensitive!”

“What’d I do?”

“Your gift! It’s insulting!”

“How? It’s a Regal Ware 10-Piece Cookware Set! I figure with a baby on the way they’ll be eating in a lot more often. You can’t have so many nights out on a 'new parent' budget.”

“But their baby is adopted. From CHINA.”

“So you’re saying you didn’t do this as a reference to that old, super-offensive joke?”

“What joke?”

“The one about the names.”

“Names? I bought this because it’s an award-winning cookware set made from professional grade stainless steel and pure aluminum. They’re oven-safe up to 400F and you can even wash ‘em in the dishwasher. New parents need to learn how to cook healthy meals, that’s all.”

“So this isn’t about the baby name? I don’t believe it. I still think you’re being racist.”

“What’s the deal with the baby name?”

“It’s a racist joke about how they throw pots and pans down stairs and that’s how they get the name.”

“Well isn’t it more racist that you’re the one who immediately thought of that joke when you saw pots and pans?”

“Don’t change the subject!”
