Owen: We went to China today at school, Mom.
Me: Oh really? What did you do?
O: Did you know that they write with paintbrushes there?
M: You mean calligraphy? Yeah, that's pretty neat, huh?
O: I really want to go to China. I would definitely see the Great Wall of China.
M: That would be a great trip; maybe we can do that someday.
O: Except we'd have to learn Spanish.
M: Uhhh?
O: That's what they speak in China, you know, Mom.
Note to any travellers: Owen will be writing a "How to Travel Around the World" book -- be sure and reserve your copy today.

Spanish, Chinese, there isn't that much difference is there?
i guess not...if you don't speak either one ;).
That is too funny. I really try to teach culture around here (my mom's Thai, Hubs family is Armenian.) But my 5 yo came home the other day from school and said, "The little Africans came to sing." The who? "The little Africans." I had to look to the 8 yo to translate. "It was a traveling choral group from Africa. They are Africans. From Africa." Well, there you go.
