Babylonian confusion of speech
“Mom, when are these people coming with Down syndrome? Are they coming today?” ... silence... my head at full speed and then... plinggggg the quarter fell and I shot in laughter.
“Honey, there are no people with Down syndrome. There come Mongols, people from Mongolia, the country”... silence... I saw the rags spinning... huh??? ... owwww!!!!!!!!!
He also shot at the laugh... “So I really thought there would be people with Down syndrome, but why are they called Mongols?” ... So I explained this in detail that this has to do with the slanting eyes.
It was so comical this little talk... I still laugh while he's already gone to school. The positive thing is that someone with Down syndrome is apparently also very welcome to come and stay for a few days because since they know that Mongols are coming to stay, I haven't had any comments or crazy questions even though people with disabilities were supposed to be.
