I thought gunpowder and pasta, among other things, were invented by the Chinese. The zero was invented by the Mayans. Etc. Etc.

Realize it was the Spanish who had missions in California. All these Spanish surnamed people are taking about their ancestors

Based on the behavior of most kids I see these days, that would be a yes.

Not in the metmom house though.
