Chinese People

Joel has picked up on the fact that people from different countries speak different languages. He hears me talk about my French friends, Isabelle and Renee, thru my blog. We had guests with us from Israel who spoke Hebrew among themselves some of the time. Of course he hears Spanish every time we eat at La Tolteca or go to Walmart. A couple of times we've had Chinese students in our home, but he was too young to remember.

Yesterday we were driving home fromBible study, and out of the blue came Joel's funny question. "Mom, what do Chinese people talk? French, Hebrew, or Spanish?"

I said, "Most Chinese people speak Chinese, honey."

"They do?" he asked, as if Chinese people were far superior because they spoke a foreign language!
