Oh the conversations in our House somedays

The new American Girl magazine arrived recently. Genevieve and I were looking through it and the following conversation occurred:

M - Honey we need to order the CNY dress for you and your sister's AG doll.

G - Her doll can't have one

M - Why not?

G - Because she's not Chinese, she's American. (Abigail has Josephina)

M - That doesn't matter, she can still celebrate CNY.

G - No she can't, she's not Chinese, She's American

M - You don't have to be Chinese to celebrate CNY. Mommy is not Chinese and I celebrate CNY.

G - You're suppose to, you're my mom.

M - Honey you're not only Chinese, you're American too

G - No I'm not, I'm Chinese

M - You can be Chinese and American

G - I don't think I want to, I think I want to be Chinese only.

M - Oh, but you we live in America, go to American schools, and have American birth certificates. That makes us Americans, and you're so lucky because you get to be Chinese-American.

G - Well, I think we need to move to China because I just can't handle being both.

WOW, not sure if I'm ready for her to be a teenager.
