Are you stupid?

A funny incident...at work...i happened to chance upon a conversation between 2 little girls in my room, Ivy and Elly. Ivy is a vietnamese girl...who cries alot, she just can't help it..she's so little that she's terrified of everything. And Elly, who is a vibrant little girl who is slightly older than Ivy...very verbal, speaks good english..very chatty too! Ivy happened to be crying alot that day...and Elly decided to go up and talk to her, she said a few things to Ivy but Ivy just looked at her and didn't respond to her for some time. Finally Elly turned to Ivy and asked..."Are you stupid?" And the cutest thing is that she was SO sincere about asking. I had to explain to her that "stupid" is not a nice word to use...but inside i was sniggering..
