Priceless

Ambiguously Asian messenger person comes in at about 10:30 to deliver some papers to the Boss Lady. They talk for a few minutes, even though I'm pretty sure neither of them could understand the other.

After the messenger leaves, the Boss turns to Yusuf and asks, "Mongolian?"
Yusuf shakes his head and says, "I don't think so, Mami"

"Mexican?" she wonders

Readers who got in on the ground floor will remember how I suspected that the Boss Lady referred to all Asians as Mongolians, because that's how she described the three Asian people who work here. But then it turned out that those three people were actually from Mongolia.

Needless to say, I'm more than a little pleased by this (re)development.
