Fran loved karate class, so we returned. She really wanted a karate suit. Something she will always treasure. At tonight’s class there were 17 local kids there. Many, especially the teenagers, were fascinated by Fran. They wanted to touch her and talk to her. Some knew decent English, others used google translate. “What’s your name?” “Where are you from?” “How long are you here?” “Why you so white?” “How old are you?” “Why are you so tall?” “What do you eat?” Fran didn’t mind the attention.
