Before we got there I asked the elders the names of the Tan's children..Amanda, Alexandra and Victor. Throughout the evening I tried to engage the children in conversation (they all speak English well), but Victor never responded. As we left, I asked the elders to tell me a little about Victor, because by this time I had determined that he is a special needs child. The elders proceeded to inform me that his name was Vincent, not Victor!! I said, "oh elders, you should have told me while we were there!" They began to laugh hysterically..."we did!!" 😛
Oh dear sister, I can relate ... Humor is the best way to handle it:)
