It was fascinating to hear how others thought of America. Still is!

And my boys never seemed to want to talk about their days in school, from junior high on. I did, however, get called to the school several times to discuss their behaviors. I recognize now that, when we sat at the table, they had learned to distract me by asking if I had seen anything of interest in the news. (My daughters always wanted to talk about their day in school, straight through college. My only calls from school regarding them were for awards and other positive things.)
