It's true! I wouldn't worry about it too much just yet. There's still plenty of time for them to discover what's so terrible about the French. Then they'll forget all about this hating Mexico thing!

When I was four I wanted to grow up to be Chinese. I saw a Chinese woman at the grocery store and started yelling, "Look, Mommy, look! A Chinese!" My mother was mortified because she was sure the woman thought I was racist. She didn't think the woman would believe my motivation behind my excited cries. Hey! My parents told me I could be ANYTHING when I grew up! Love the menu – that’s what I eat when the kids aren’t looking!

And they are both 9. I can't imagine having to appease 3 different ages. I come from people who make their kids eat grown up food or be hungry, and I'm still adjusting. Of course they are well rounded non country hating people. However, the other stories can make for more interesting blog fodder.

Isn't that what the family room is for? (And I must add this little item... as I was typing this, my 14 year old came in the room with a bag of potato chips and stopped suddenly, saying, "Can you cut me an apple so I can have that instead of chips?" Can someone tell me what just happened? Whose kid was that?) Oh, and by the way... I can actually do the Mexican Hat Dance. I know. Wow.

Fortunately, my kid doesn't really talk yet, unless you count the constant hammering of my brain with, "Mamamamamamamamamamama".
