Zoe is learning Chinese. I got to tell you that my initial reaction to her school's suggestion that she take it was that it was sort like learning martian just before they invaded. Come on let's be real. It's not about appreciating shu mai and the folks who invented noodles it's about getting a job ordering widgets from a sweat shop or introducing pharmaceuticals or SUVS or in the case of Spain jamon to 885,000,000 Chinese speakers.
However Zoo Zoo loves it and is taking to it like a Peking duck to the mouth of a nuevo rico DVD bootlegger. We all sat around the coffee table as she instructed us how to write characters representing the numbers 1 through 10. Yep she learning how to write in mandarin. Wow. My kid is a genius.
