In West Sussex, London... here is a conversation between a British pre-school teacher and a 4 year old Filipina, Drew Leslie.

TEACHER: Drew, what is your nationality?
DREW: I don't have a nationality.
TEACHER: I mean, are you a Filipino?
DREW: Oh, I don't think so!

In Chicago, Illinois... I asked Ajae, a 3 year old Filipina through voice chat...
LEI: Ajae, are you a Filipino?
AJAE: No!
AJAE's MOM: Anak, you're a Filipino.
AJAE: But we're in Chicago!

Here's a voice chat with Drew...
LEI: Drew, can you still speak Tagalog?
DREW: I only speak English!

A few minutes later...
DREW: Tita Ponds? Ano'ng ginagawa mo?

Here's a conversation between Ajae and her mom...
AJAE's MOM: Ajae, I can't give you a gum. You don't throw it after.
AJAE: *tantrums strike*
AJAE: Mommy, I'm a big girl na...
AJAE's MOM: Oo nga anak, you're a big girl na kaso nilulunok mo naman yung gum!
AJAE: I'm a big girl na... only... I'm little!
