Our Christmas started with the 5pm Mass at St. Patrick's. We did not arrive early enough and had to stand along the wall. There were a lot of families in our same predicament. Mia noticed 3 girls sitting on the floor next to us, they were about 8 years old. Two looked like sisters and one looked Chinese. Here is the conversation I had the pleasure to overhear.
Mia: Standing in front of and looking at the Asian girl, "You are Chinese. Are you from China?"
Cute Chinese girl: "Yes, I'm Chinese from China."
Mia: "mumble, mumble, mumble" as Mia does when she not quite sure what to say.
Chinese girl: "Oh, I'm from China, but I do not speak Chinese."
SOOO Cute! Mia must have sounded like she was speaking Chinese with her mumblings and the girl was so sweet to her.
I though young children did not see color or ethnicity. I guess I was wrong.
