The names don't change


Questions from an almost-4-year-old: "How do you say 'Suma' in French?...How do you say 'Hello' in Spanish? ... How do you say 'How are you?' in Spanish?... How do you say 'Goodbye' in Spanish?"

Now she asks me all these questions? Yesterday we visited a playground that we drove to for a little adventure out of the cul-de-sac. This is where *Mila* befriended a little girl who was about a year older and from Mexico. Can you imagine coming from Mexico to Canada in January? I think the mother said they were here for a year, but I could be wrong. *Mila* and this little girl ran around and played quite happily. All the while, I couldn't help but think that when you are 4, you just don't care if someone lives in another country. You are having fun for the moment and that is all that matters.
