Heritage

So, I haven't blogged in a while... been in a bad mood lately, but heck after rum and cokes it's all good...lol. Interesting thing about heritage... I am married to a Mexican and so we figured my kids are 50% Mexican and 50% PDW (pretty darn white). Not so much. Now my son never was an over the top, gung ho Mexican kind of kid. Now that he's been told what I've found he's now extremely excited about it. Turns out he and his sister are quite the Heinz 57, with more of his ancestry coming from over the pond... auntie will be happy! My son is only 25% Mexican, 12 1/2 % Mexican Indian and another 12 1/2% English from his father's side. In doing research I found out that I am 50% Irish so my son is 25% Irish, 12 1/2% French and 12 1/2% German. Goodness, how do I fill out those ethnic forms! My son has quite quickly adopted his Irish roots and now wants to go and visit his newfound homeland.
