Diversity, dialogue and multiculturalism in America

Hi, you have reached the blog of Faiqa.  I’m sorry, I’m not here right now because my awesome husband surprised me and the kids with a trip to Savannah.

In the meantime, though, I found something for your viewing pleasure.

Some thoughts regarding what you’re about to see:

1. The kid is Japanese.  He’s four or five.  He can’t speak English. Don’t you dare make fun of him for that. Unless you spoke English AND Japanese fluently by the time you were five. Then, you know, have at it.

2. I need therapy.  Because when I saw this, I thought to myself, “Whatever, what’s the big deal, anyway?”  And, then, I sat around contemplating over whether I knew anyone who could teach my kid to play the ukelele.

3. If you’re reading this post through Facebook, you have to go to my original post to see the video. Sigh. I’m getting tired of saying that.

(P.S. Thanks to K.F. for bringing this to my attention on Facebook.)

    You know, I was reading a post earlier tonight on someone or other’s blog and they mentioned the Japanese kid playing the ukelele a few times. But without a link or a video.

    So thanks for being lazy and scratching that particular itch of mine.

    Can we make fun of the fact that his parents can afford an auto-focusing video camera (seriously, that wasn’t taken with a P&S on video mode) yet film him in a storage closet?

  3. OK. That was just adorable! I needed a lighter to hold up. :)

    Hope you had a wonderful time in Savannah, hon!

  4. Finn says:

    Oh he is adorable. And probably doesn’t know most of the words to that song, which is even cuter.

  5. Miss Britt says:

    That was definitely one of the most adorable things I’ve seen in a while.

    I’m grinning from ear to ear from watching that — so adorable!

  7. That is so cute, I think he is brilliant.

    I seriously can’t handle kids singing – outside of my own. Kid, that is. Gah. :)

  9. Poppy says:

    Too much screeching, I can’t wait for him to be able to talk more words because he’s adorable and a star in any language.
