You’d have to be there to really get it, but my kids come from
all over the world. It’s cool. No, seriously, it’s really cool. One way or the next
their families started in or came from places like Japan, France, Vietnam, India,
Belgium, Israel, Ireland, Czech Republic, Germany, Australia, the United States
of America, Canada, Pakistan, Great Britain, and of course the Netherlands. At
ISA we celebrate what the school calls “internationalism.” I do my best.
Recently when I couldn’t help but notice that Celeste (French,
Belgian, Dutch) wasn’t terribly happy with Will (English) I intervened. To break
the tension of their disagreement I said, “Celeste, for all time France and England
have hated each other. Is this (referring to their argument) because you’re French
and he’s British?”
“No, not at all,” Celeste explained. “It’s because he’s British
and I’m normal!”
