Dinner with A

Tonight at dinner during a conversation we were having I made a comment about "all the little Chinese girls running around."

A looked at me and said "Mommy, don't tell everyone?"

I asked her, "What am I not supposed to tell everyone? That you are Chinese?"

She hesitated a moment and said, "Yes, don't tell everyone that I am Chinese?"

I am not sure who everyone is, it was just our family at dinner.

Kurt tried to explain to her that anyone who looks at her will know that she is Chinese.

Later I did explain to her that since she was born in China she is Chinese, but now she is an American too. I don't think at the age of 5 she truly understands all of this, but it was kind of strange to hear her respond the way she did.

Dinner with A

I made a very tasty slow cooker pepper steak dinner tonight. I found out that no matter how wonderful it smelled all day a third of my family did not like it. So I was asking A if she liked it. She said "Yes, I like it really, really bad!!"

We all got a chuckle out of this.
