You obviously like mangoes, are good at pulling faces and always win at board games, but you can't draw alligators.

You jest - but your joshing at hit the mark!
I LOVE mangoes. I am very convincing in expression, and can contort my features quite impressively. I do usually win at games, as I am very patient and strategic (and not a good loser). Also - I draw cartoon and comics... and have all my life. But, I do have trouble with animals (such as alligators) that have long snouts. ;)

Let's see..You and your DH are of different cultural backgrounds. I'm guessing one of you is Italian, and one is from some sort of Asian country (?). You like history, and the meaning behind names is important to you. I imagine parents that value the simple things, and have a lot of laughter in their household. Maybe you're a teacher, or some sort of artist? You're a very hands-on parent, and love to travel. Hope I at least got something right :)

Well, I'm not going to sugarcoat it: You're not white, and you come from a completely different cultural background than I do. That's the first thing that comes to mind. You're a quiet person who is traditional and wants your children to value tradition, patience, compassion, etc. etc. You are a family-oriented person who doesn't constantly feel the need to stand out; you draw strength from being part of a team. That's all I got. :/

Nice. :) Pretty spot on actually. Though, I am technically caucasian. Lots of people think I am Latina, but my background is Italian by blood.

I would think you had an interesting mix of cultural backgrounds in your family and I would want to know more about them and what they were (I recognise the 2nd mns as Italian, of course, but the others I'm unfamiliar with). I'd get the impression you were either an international family or a traveling family or both, and I'd think you were my kind of people and want to know more.

We are. My parents are Italian, and I was raised in the US... but have lived in both Germany and Ireland for a bit (but travelled all over). My husband is from the Philippines (the first middle names are Filipino), but we met in Cambodia. Firsts are French - just a language and place that I love, and it is the first foreign language I learned (after native English and broken Italian). I find that culture so sophisticated and almost in-your-face stylish. Plus - they have moxie.

I think I can tell from this that you're a bit of a globetrotter.
