I remember years ago standing in a department store's check-out line. Ahead of me in the line were two Asian women--each woman had her children with her. One woman turned to the other and said, "Are you Vietnamese?" The other woman replied, "No, I'm Cambodian." With that, they started chatting about their children and exchanged tips about shopping, etc. It suddenly struck me that this is what America is about. Seldom have I felt more like an American than at that moment standing in a check-out line when I overheard those two foreign-born woman talk about their children.
