The language barrier is one aspect of living in Oaxaca that must be overcome. But since I can handle some street Spanish and academic Spanish, I find the culture gaps more challenging and fascinating.
Yesterday, Geni's teacher at Colegio Teizcali came to me after school. "She doesn't eat her lunch."
"No?"
"No. So I have made a list of the foods she likes."
This was so incredibly kind! I do really love Geni's teacher and how she looks after every little thing. I took the list and read it: "Jello. Marshmallows. Chocolate." I looked at the teacher. "Thank you so much, maestra. But don't these all have a lot of sugar?"
She nodded. "Yes. Maybe just send Jello."
Can you imagine how ecstatic my children would be to get lunches of Jello, marshmallows and chocolate?
