It's time for another round of, "Children Say the Funniest Things!"

Our two sons are adopted, Boy 1 is part Hawaiian, and Boy 2 is Filipino. The subject of their ethnic backgrounds came up quite often as Boy 1 tried to get things straight in his mind.

Several years ago we were moving and I decided to get fast food for dinner instead of dirtying dishes I needed to pack. We opted for Taco Bell. I ordered a Nachos Supreme with jalapeno's. We took our order home as I have a thing about eating in fast food restaurants.

Boy 1, at the ripe old age of four had decided he might like hot foods. He asked if he could try a jalapeno. I gave him one and he popped it into his mouth and gave it a few crunches and passes over his tongue. Next thing I knew his eyes popped open as well as his mouth. In a very loud, breathy voice he announced, "Bwaaahhhh! I don't like filipino's!"

Boy 1 had confused the words, jalapeno's with filipino's, probably because he hadn't heard the word jalapeno that often. I was so glad we were in the privacy of our own home! I couldn't imagine what kind of looks we may have received if we had been in the restaurant.

Interesting, Boy 1 loves hot food now. Including jalapeno's.

Our daughter, Rebekah, has always been a little lady. When she was 4, she decided she wanted to try a jalapeno, too. She popped it in her mouth and started chewing. Her eyes and nose started watering and she reached for her cup and started madly gulping down water. She still hadn't said a word or even made a sound. Once she'd polished off her water, she said in the most genteel little voice, "Those are a little too spicy for me, but maybe I'll like them when I'm a mommy." ROFLOL!
Love, Dawn

I hate to post something serious after such a cute entry.

The Creightons live in California. And life is indeed harder on California homeschoolers.

It might not hurt to have it in the newletter just so folks could be praying for this family and for HSLDA to make some inroads with Children's Services so other families can be spared this type of thing in the future.

About my Avatar: Tia Turtle is a character in a new book by Gena Suarez, "And Then Mama Said...It Takes Time to Learn to Read." Kevin Collier is the illustrator and he made me my special avatar, because yes, Tia Turtle is named after Me! (Okay, so I'm bragging. Leave me a correctional comment in love.)
