Beijing. . .

I can clearly relate to Susan's post about the Olympics and our children's perceptions. SuperGirl and I were just watching some of the swimming we had tivoed (is that even a word?) and she saw a Chinese woman speaking in English and asked me if she was Chinese. I replied, "Yes, she is", and received the response of, "Well, how does she speak like that?" I then had to explain that folks in other countries can learn different languages just as we can, and then she asked me if all people in China speak English. Oy! I feel like I'm stuck in a whirlpool, being sucked downward in the spiral toward an incoherent land of gibberish. If you hear someone yelling "SAVE ME" soon, it may just be me. :)
