My kids got asked yesterday (by a family member visiting us) if they felt more Indian or more Italian...I was so annoyed at that question!! my kids are little and I don't want them to feel they need to be one or the either. How do you respond to people who ask such questions?

I cant related with this completely but I as a kid had faced this many times. Parents being from two completely different parts of India, it was a very common thing which my relatives and friends asked, "which side do I feel more inclined to". I never knew how to answer it. But trust me it never affected me. I still feel I am an unique combinations of both.
