A Very Quick Spanish Lesson From my 3-Year Old

Hazel, sitting cross-legged: "Hey Mommy, guess how we call sitting like this in Spanish?"

Me to myself: Well, it used to be Indian-style when I was a kid, but then people realized that was not appropriate, so we were taught to say "criss-cross applesauce," or "pretzel," or some other more culturally-sensitive version.

Me to Hazel: "I don't know. What do you call it in Spanish?"

Hazel: "Chinitos." (Little Chinese people)

Me to myself: We've still got some work to do.
