D.N.A.

Random conversations pop up a lot in China. For example:

“Why is your hair yellow, but your husband’s hair is coffee-colored? Is your hair color real? All Chinese people have black hair.”

I sat in silence for a moment & pondered how to explain D.N.A. in Chinese.

Finally, I just said slowly in English, “D.N.A.”

She looked at me and replied, “Ah! D.N.A.!”

And went on to another topic.
