Our son has befriended this one kid here in our complex, he is a pretty nice kid. This evening he was at our sliding glass door on the patio talking with our son, trying to hurry him through his dinner because he wanted to take advantage of the light.

He then said, "I will have to go when it's dark, and I won't be able to come out tomorrow.", my son asked him why, he then told him this;
Everyone in the complex is talking about how the Spanish speaking kids cannot be out tomorrow as military helicopters would be going around looking for only the Spanish speaking kids, and load them up and take them to Mexico."!!!

Now at first I thought this is just one of those weird kid things, they hear stuff and form strange ideas about it in their heads. No, all the adults are telling the kids this!! They are being told this by other people this kid told us.

He seemed a little embarrassed when we were giggling, but I assured him no one was coming in to take him and the other kids (although my 23 year old daughter wanted to play with him and tell him seriously that, no, not helicpoters, but buses, I told her no that would not be nice!), that our
military or government would do something like this.

Now I wonder, does anyone here speak Spanish and know if any of the radical Hispanic groups are telling people this to make them believe Americans REALLY hate them and we are going to take their kids from them, so they will not associate with Americans, thus they might learn the truth about these radical factions?

I must say I and my daughter had a good laugh on this one. We joked that in the wee morning hours we should have a tape of chopper noises and go knocking on peoples doors yelling "US Military, please come out", but we would not really do it, just seemed funny!!!
