A Conversation with Megan

My children have such diversified personalities and unique individuality thatI can experience a full spectrum of moments with our four active children......My moments with Megan are much quieter and often "dreamy" compared to my moments with Jacob : getting plumbers-putty stuck up his nose or Travis: being brought home by the police at age three....We were on our way to our favorite hairdresser for our back to school haircuts and Megan and I were talking...She asked me if I was born in Florida-yes, I was born in Florida...Oh, that is nice...But what if you were born somewhere else-What's that place next to China and you can have more than one child??
Japan?? I asked
Yes....what if you had been born in Japan.....I wish you had been born in Japan because then I would look like them.....With dark hair and have those kind of eyes..I think the Japan girls are beautiful-don't you??
Well, honey...even if I had been born in Japan...I would still look the same and so would you....The only way I would look Japanese was if our ancestors were from Japan...and they're not they are from England, Germany and the Netherlands....so we look like them no matter where we are born
oh, so we are German-looking??
Yes, we are German looking..and English and Dutch....
Oh, I wish we had ancestors from Japan....

note: Megan has always loved the orient...even when she was four, she talked about going to China and live there or visit...she was turned off by how many shots she would have to get and the fact that the Chinese government only allows one child per household....like I said, My moments are totally different than the ones with the boys- but just as cute-I think....
