Caleb: Aunt Kelly?
Me: Yes, my dear.
Caleb: There are a lot of China people in China.
Me: Yes…yes, I’ve noticed that when I’ve been there. You’re right. There are a lot of Chinese people in China. In America, we have a lot of all sorts of people. Have you noticed that? We have Chinese people here too.
Caleb: Yes. Two.
She made a shofar out of our church bulletin yesterday. After I told her to stop blowing it loudly sounding a good bit like I imagine a killer whale to sound, I took it away, an act which resulted in her hitting me multiple times in the parking lot.
