One of my friends at work has a three year-old son, Xiao Mo. I've only met him twice, the first time he cried when he saw me and the second time was in the hospital when he had a fever (so sad).

A couple of days ago his dad, Mo Hailiang, told me that they were watching a TV news story about the war in Gaza. Hamas leaders were being interviewed and Xiao Mo recognized they were speaking a foreign language. He mimicked it...blah blah blah...then he said "Lao Bu!" (my Chinese name). I must be the only person Xiao Mo has met who speaks a language other than Chinese, or he thinks I am a Hamas militant!!! We all had a good laugh about that.
