Children

At the wet market on Tuesday William, the two Ayis and I came across the child at the top of this post. The child is a girl! This is the traditional way the Chinese cut their children's hair. This explains why EVERY Chinese person we meet thinks Huck and Jed are girls. They would never let their sons' hair be long, even the girls usually have short hair too but sometimes you see longer hair.

After a few minutes of taking pictures and shopping at the family's stand, the woman went away and came back with another child whom she said is the child's brother. So, on the left, you see the boy and on the right is the girl. They are one year apart. The women asked us to take their picture and bring it to them next time. we always meet interesting people at this particular market.

Take note of the split pants on the boy!
