Knowing your children are intelligent and hoving them prove it, especially in an unexpected way, are completely different things. Saru is an avid Manga fan. SO much so that she decided to teach herself Japanese. SHe has checked out all the library books on Japan she can find and she writes regular notes back and forth to Gurinu. I am also learning a little (out of defense) tho ich keine spreche Nipponeseisch. I shall now refer to it as Nippon, not Japan and it's people as Nippon-jin. aparently calling them Japanese is as bad a word as squaw. who knew, well now i do.
On a personal language note, ive got to find someone that speaks German so i can use it before i lose it. Reading my book, i keep coming acroos phrases that i know i should know, but frustratingly stay just out of my mental reach. Ich muss meinen Deutsch praktisch.
I know i am somewhat more than kinda ego centric. i think that ego centricism without a load of vanity is the norm for people in general. But i wonder if people think about me as much as i think about them? and i hope that they think well of me. i wont change out of fear that they might think badly of me--ive found that almost never results in anything good--but i would hope that more think well of me than otherwise.
