Klara says, “Today was the best day of the trip, Mommy.”

“What did you like about it?”

“I had an important conversation with my uncle.”

“What did you talk about?”

“Family. Food. How I got my toy camel.”

“How did you get your toy camel?”

“Uncle gave it to me.”

The camel has “I ❤️ Qatar” written on its side. It’s really weird to think that the Peruvian uncle gave my American child a toy camel from Qatar while I was at an Indian restaurant with my Ukrainian sister.
