2Y2M 21W3D オリエンタルなタカラ Takara is so oriental?

アラタを公園に連れて行くと必ず誰かが「ハーフちゃんですか」と聞く。ところが、タカラだけを連れて出かけて一度もこの質問をされたことがない。せいぜい、「色が白いわね」か「目が大きいわね。」

0歳児のリズム体操へ行った時も、「目が･･･」「色が･･･」というコメントに続き「首が長いわね！」（本当か？）あまりにも多くの人に、「色が･･･」と言われたので、自分から「ハーフなんです」と言いました。しばらくしてアラタが寄ってきたら、みなさん納得。アラタはJason似だけれども、タカラは日本人度が強い。大勢の0歳児の中にタカラを置くと、なんか違うんだけどね。

さて、両親が発見しました。昔のアルバムを引っ張り出してみると、タカラは私の弟にそっくり！そして、後ろに写っている女の子はアラタの雰囲気が･･･。白黒の写真なんて本物のタカラのよう。実はこれは私です。とても紛らわしい?

When I take Arata to a park, I am always asked if he is mixed race. But when I go out only with Takara, I've never been asked this question! Usually, they only say, "His skin is fair" or "His eyes are big."

When we went to 'song time' for under 1 year old, other mums were making similar comments including, "He has a long neck!" As quite a few of them said Takara's skin is fair, I confessed he is mixed race. When Arata approached me later, they looked convinced. I know Arata looks more like Jason and Takara is like me. But when Takara is among other Japanese babies, he still looks different.

When my parents were browsing through my brother's old albums, they noticed Takara looks like my brother at the same age. The baby in the foreground is my brother. (The girl behind is like Arata?) The baby in the black and white photo is the spitting image of Takara. Well, it's me! Really confusing!!
