[quote=Anonymous]I like the signs that you didn't grow up rich. How they spill out no matter how hard you try to hide them.

My old money WASP mother, who was off her rocker, was very proud of having married a doctor. His class, or lack of it, became apparent immediately to anyone who had to watch him eat. He shoved food in his mouth. Conversation was a giveaway as well; this man literally told fart jokes to my extremely proper UC grandparents at the dinner table, and then got nervous when it became clear that wasn't appropriate and tried to impress them by telling them about his (imaginary, of course) bronze medal from the Olympics. He would also try to call attention to himself -- I remember him going on and on and on about how hard it is to get into medical school at the Thanksgiving dinner table and my investment banker uncle glaring down the table, trying to will him to stop freaking talking. He and my mother were not offered cc membership, even though my mother was a big golfer and my entire family were members -- I have no doubt he made a fool of himself in the interview. [/quote]
