Kids Will Be Kids

As I read through transcriptions of the interviews with adoptive parents, this exchange amused me. It's a reminder that even though children adopted from China have unique stories and a past quite different than the 'average' American child, at the end of the day, they're just kids:

PARENT: we try to get her to watch some [Chinese TV shows]. But generally, she wants to watch, what is that stupid program, you know, all of the stuff that the other girls watch which isn't anything Chinese. That one, that kid's program with all of the music and stuff, the singing.
INTERVIEWER: Oh, Glee? (laughter).
PARENT: Glee, right. She's definitely into Glee.
