And the winner is...
JILL! Mama to the fabulous and spunky Layne Nhi. Here's her winning story:
We have a cute story about Layne Nhi. We were only home from Vietnam about 6 weeks with 7 year old Layne Nhi Anne when we decided to treat her to our local Pizza Hut buffet for lunch. Still only able to communicate through a few words and pointing to what she needed, she pointed to each of the foods from the buffet she wanted to try and I put it on her plate. We sat back down to eat and told her the names of each of the foods on her plate. Well, she repeated all of the foods, trying so hard to speak english like us... pizza, breadsticks, salad, and PEACHES. Well, we have 3 dogs, one of them with the name PEACHES. When we told her the name of the fruit she was about to eat was PEACHES, she dropped her fork and started to cry. It took us a minute to figure out what she was so upset about, and she said "con cho", Vietnamese for dog. She thought she was eating our dog PEACHES!! We had to leave Pizza Hut and go home to show her that our dog Peaches was ok, and try to explain that peaches was a name of fruit!!! Looking back we all three laugh about it, but poor kid thought we were feeding her the sweet dog!
