Madonna's adopted son David was simply being polite to a stranger - with no idea he was talking to his father.
At their meeting in Malawi on Monday, the three-year-old went on to sit in Yohane Banda's lap before asking who he was. When the peasant farmer explained he was his father, David looked surprised and then asked him why he was poor.
It was the first time the little boy has seen his father since leaving Africa in 2006 - despite Madonna's vow for 'an ongoing relationship with David's Malawian roots'.
Father and son, who met at Madonna's lodge in Lilongwe, had to speak through a translator.
'He asked me whether I ride horses,' Mr Banda said later. 'I told him horses are for the rich and he asked me why I am poor. He told me his mum likes riding horses and that he too rides horses.'

I don't understand this Madonna - adoption fiasco, why adopt from africa? There are many children in the us who need foster homes i believe! I get the feeling that celebrities are regarding these African children they adopt as some fashion accessory / statement of some sort. Get a poodle or a chihuahua for petes sake!
The rising number of adoptions from Africa - particularly by Americans in Ethiopia - comes as the AIDS epidemic ravaging the continent leaves more orphans in impoverished countries and surviving relatives are unable to care for them.
Americans adopted 1,725 Ethiopian children in the 12-month period ending Sept. 30, 2008, about 70 percent of all U.S. adoptions from Africa, according to the U.S. State Department. The year before, 1,255 Ethiopian children were adopted by Americans.
Mbu, kama issue ni mtoto wa Kiafrika kuna wakina Leroy, Shanikwa na Shakwanas wengi tu huko us aende Brooklyn, kama ni kusaidia angemsaidia Baba wa david amlee david sio kusambaratisha familia in the name of money?
I am bold enough to say that i am not poor (according to my standards),but I am living in a rich country that is run by intelligence challenged and morally deficient people
Sinyooshei watu vidole, ni aibu kuwaachia the Geldoffs, Bonos and Madonnas of this world to try to clean our backyards and I question the sincerity of their actions as well. Is it just for popularity or are these people genuinly concerned about the wellbeing of Africans more than some of the "concerned"?
......inakuwaje familia inafikia ufukara kama huu na bado mzazi unaongeza wake na mitoto zaidi!
Why are 'we' poor ? Kwanini 'tuko' hivi?
Mbu, katika mazingira ya ufukara, hakuna recreation activities, elimu ya uzazi na pia wengine huongeza wake na watoto ili kuimarisha nguvu kazi.
Zaidi ya yote, kifo cha mke akiwa mjamzito au baada ya kujifungua kama ilivyo kwa kifo cha mtoto is inevitable. Yaani huwezi kupredict what will happen the next day, no one can but at least kuna ambao wana hope ya kuiona kesho na kujua hiyo kesho. It is complicated and it is sad indeed.
Why, why this? Until when? Is living a just life a privilege to the privileged?
...mama, ngoma za baada ya mavuno, kumtoa mwali, harusi, shughuli za uvuvi, uwindaji (pamoja na kwamba ni kutafuta kitoweo), mpira na hata kucheza bao au karata naamini ni recreational activities... iwapo jamii husika haijishughulishi nani wa kulaumiwa?
...hapo kwenye 'huwezi ku predict what will happen the next day', ndio hapo nchi za G20 wanapoatuacha mbali...! Why we can't?
usipopanda leo, kesho utavuna kweli? ...usipowekeza leo, kesho utatumia akiba gani?
'fukara' huyo huyo asiyeweza tabiri kesho, anaamini akizaa watoto wengi eti mmoja wao anaweza kuja kumfaa, au kama unavyosema 'kuimarisha nguvu kazi'. Utabiri wa upofu huo!
Inasikitisha. Eti tajiri na mali yake, masikini na watoto (asoweza kuwahudumia)
Wana-JF sisi kama kizazi cha dot.com tusipoteze muda mwingi kukosoana wenyewe kwa wenyewe ,
...kwa mfano ni watoto wangapi ambao wanatupwa kwenye majalala,milangoni mwa watu n.k. hapa nchini
natumai nia ya mastaa wengi ni kujenga publicity
lakini wakati huo huo watoto wetu wanapata neema.
