My daughter is currently enthralled with the culture of various tribes across the U.S. and guiding her to understand the differences between a culture and a person has been great fun! Definitely keeps me on my toes.

We have our van, and our electricity, etc. But we also live simply, make a lot of our own products, do most of our cooking from scratch, and on and on. My children love the idea of other kids who live so much like they do, and like our goals are. The kids were so excited to spot free-range baby chickens on an Amish farm recently, and we all talked about how we can't wait to have our own farm and have free-range chickens too. The world is too big, and we are too much alike, to just look at our differences!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752691861528240686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615729695440639670.post-28804321611266517972013-07-09T17:06:38.809-04:002013-07-09T17:06:38.809-04:00This post made me smile! :-) Such a fine distincti...This post made me smile! :-) Such a fine distinction of language, but a big difference in context. And I also ditto Jana, that I love how you are focusing on what is similar.

It is awesome that you are helping them sort out that key distinction in our language, I'm sure it is a lesson they can apply later in other areas.Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463687059904219224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615729695440639670.post-56878693950841783342013-07-09T09:08:59.715-04:002013-07-09T09:08:59.715-04:00That is really interesting, and I'm glad you&#...That is really interesting, and I'm glad you're helping them make that distinction — much more respectful.
