I’ve done it again! I’m trying to make my fizzogg fit in the little box like everyone else. How do I do that?

You are so right about the importance of culture. I guess like many of us, I didn’t appreciate the culture of my country until I had children – then it suddenly became sooo important.

I realised I’d taken what was round me for granted. Not seen it or heard it, I suppose. So I was determined to ensure my sons were immersed in their birth culture from day one…. ok , day 14 when I could walk again!
They would live it; breathe it; savour each experience; be the bastions of the beauty about them.

The outcome of the last 25 years of educating my offspring?

They have no concept or appreciation of what they have around them. They take it all for granted…

But then, they haven’t got kids either!

I only make on traditional bread at Christmas. I realize that this is kind of sad but we just fit in with all the others even though I am 100% Bohemian. I hardly new other cultures growing up. Now being in Southern California for 24 years our children grew up with other cultures all around them.

The skulls are just beautiful!

If you were to come live here, you would become aware of all the cultural things you take for granted because things would be different.

Reminds me of an old Dilbert cartton – “I read your marketing report, and circled all the words you’ll find in no dictionary.” What a rich and wonderful (“rinderful”) language we have. Indigo x

I’m telling you, a cup of Abuelita brings back all kinds of sensory memories.
