When Strangers Think They Know Better

An excerpt from the LA Times -

I am raising my daughter to speak three languages. A stranger demanded I 'speak English' to her
By ESMERALDA BERMUDEZ

I felt her staring at me on the playground as I called out to my daughter.

She must be someone’s grandmother, I thought. She must be curious, as people often are.

Then she took one step toward me — pink fingernails, dark blond hair — and opened her mouth, e-nun-ci-a-ting each word.

“Speak English,” she commanded. “You’re confusing the poor girl.”
