Had some friends over for dinner last night. As we were wrapping up our meal, Mary asked if we could eat dessert on our Chinese plates. Having lived in NYC we have some plates, etc from Chinatown, so we figured that's what she was referring to. When we asked again to confirm Mary jumped out of her seat and started to open the china cabinet in our dining room. Then we figured it out. Mary wanted to eat dessert on our 'china' plates, not our Chinese plates!! Was quite funny to everyone when we figured it out, especially Mary.
