An Unquiet Girl

Here she is showing her less than demure side. I joke with her sometimes and tell her that Asian girls are known to be quiet and sweet. She hasn't quite gotten that part. It reminds me of when one of the nannies at the playground asked why all the other Asian girls at the park was so quiet and she was so noisy. I had to laugh. It is amazing how stereotypes abound.

Although I do remember hearing about a study of infant babies where they would pass a light cloth over the infants faces and the non-Asians babies would scream and fuss and the Asian infants would just coo and move slightly. Elizabeth missed that study it seems.

Then again, I'm Irish and I hate beer--so much for sterotypes!
