I have this 23 yr old niece. (good god, I love that kid with all my heart, and I would do anything for her). She has an awkward knack for always saying something shocking. Here's this great, funny, outgoing kid who lights up the room, and then BAM...everyone is left speechless, mouths gaping open. I think the fact that she is so loveable gets her by, but as she gets older she might want to rethink her strategy.
