wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa
If anyone has seen the old "Peanuts" cartoons they have an idea what it is like to live abroad. Last night I went out to dinner with my department. The food was good, I have no idea how the conversation was. It was just like Peanuts. Wa wa, wawawawawa blah, on and on, for 2.5 hours. It was good to get some of the sounds down, and I was included every once in a while. Apparently they like my style and think my hair is like an artist's hair. I think this was the only situation in my life where I could sit with 5 women, stare at their mouths, and zone out without getting into trouble.

You are remembering the kids listening to the PARENTS talk on
Charlie Brown episodes....The parents never made sense!
Love you,
DAD
Yeah, the teachers too. That's probably what I sound like to my students!!!

Do these kids know any English? I remember the WA WA WAA from the teacher. That is probably what your students hear when you talk to them. By the way, you are missing out on the snow today. This weather is CRAZY. We love reading your blogs. I check your page, before I look at the family web site. Take care.
Love Aunt Ruth
