Deepavali

This lady seems nice, I like

We were invited by hubby's staff for Deepavali. One of the ladies there plucked Jo Ern out of my maid's arms when rice was served. I am always taken aback on the rare occasions when strangers do that, but have yet to think of the proper thing to do. But Jo Ern was perfectly fine with people of a different skin colour. There was no sound from her while we had our lunch in the dining room. After we finished and came out, we sat on one side of the living room while she remained happily with our hosts on the other side. It was quite funny to see a whole row of Indians (didn't manage to capture on camera) with the one Chinese baby. Obviously racism is NOT something people are born with!

  1. Haha! That's good...
    but somehow my kids esp Ryan seems to be TOO aware of the different skin color. He somehow has made his own conclusions.

  2. glad that she is easy going. For my son, he normally needs to warm up before playing with other kids.

  3. Leona, you're not using the 'after bangkali come and catch you' threat are you? Hehe.

    LittleLamb, oh she wasn't interacting with the kids. Just fine being carried by the adults who passed her around a bit. BTW, could I have access to your blog?
