… saying, “I’m the mom!” 

We went to the hospital last night because Pristine’s recurring fever was very high. It has been a roller coaster ride since Wednesday night with fever shooting up and going down again. No cough or cold, just fever but we wanted to make sure what’s wrong.

While I carried her, (I didn’t realize she is this heavy now, I almost broke my back) people were staring at us. One woman in front of me finally asked, “From where is that child (nationality)?”

I answered back, “Japan. She’s Japanese”.

Then I knew this was coming: “Your employer is Japanese?”

I could not count the times I was asked if my own daughter is my ward, and if I am someone’s maid because Pristine do not look like me although 50% of her genes is mine (supposedly!).

So what do you think, should I bleach my skin? or make my eyes smaller?
