Way to go.<BR/><BR/>Just last weekend, Kate and I were at a playground and another mother asked how old Kate was. I told her she'll be 2 in April. Her nose wrinkled, and she said, "but she's so small". <BR/><BR/>"she's average for Asians", I replied.<BR/><BR/>ever since then, I wonder what someone who is Asian would have said? Maybe they wouldn't make that comment to someone who was Asian, I don't know. but I keep wanting to ask someone how to handle that.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089406601521459207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-74808136319514010172007-03-13T21:18:00.000-04:002007-03-13T21:18:00.000-04:00We are really lucky in that department to.
