In Search for the Americans

Our daughter just loves to be with Americans and talk to them. She's exactly the opposite of me because when I was young, I would run away at the sight of Americans or foreigners for that matter because I was afraid that maybe they would ask me something and I won't be able to answer them :).

Anyways, when we were in Suria, KLCC ( Malaysia) the other day, she noticed there were a lot of foreigners in the mall. I was just observing her, watching them and listening to them. And then with excitement on her face she whispered in my ear, " They can talk in English!". As far as she's concerned, if they have brown hair and can speak English, then they are Americans.

Then , when we were having breakfast, she was busily looking around and finally told her Appa, " I want to talk to the American Uncles and Aunties Appa!". Her Appa refused her request and told her there were no Americans around. BUt them she started to cry and suggested that they go around and look for one. Finally, her Appa gave in they went around for awhile looking for some Americans..and you know what she did everytime she meets one? She would wave her hand and say " Hello!". Some don't hear her say Hello but the others smile back at her and say HI.

She said, she likes the Americans. I asked her why, and then she said, " I like their hair!". I just remember last month while we were watching the olympics from the TV and she was also cheering for the American gymnast ( Johnson) and was sad that the Chinese gymnast won. Everytime Johnson does his stunt, she would say, " I like that American Uncle!". I always asked her, why but then she can't explain why.. and finally, she said, " I like him because I like his armpit! " LOL!!
