The one American kid in the school would always talk about how good their big Thanksgiving dinners were or how elaborate their 9/11 towers were, etc etc.
He was bragging about how back home they had specially made towers that collapsed realistically. Like a classic upper class white family on 9/11 morning you see in movies.
The one time I went over to their house they had a framed photo of, get this, the kid lighting 2 (I assume alcohol or oil soaked) Jenga towers with a few sparklers bent to look like a plane.
My first expose to working class Americans lying and pretending to be richer than they are.
