More sharing of American culture
Jan. 26th, 2004 10:08 amMy Norwegian friend Kristin has taken her next step into American culture: eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. The first time Kristin saw me making one, she said (as diplomatically as possible): "That doesn't look very nice." But after a few weeks of persuasion

And guess what? Agreeing with millions of elementary school-age kids, Kristin decides PB&Js are tasty!

So ... we've had a jack-o-lantern carving lesson, & we've taken Kristin to watch American football. I was thinking that next we should bake an apple pie, but that's kind of hard. Suggestions for further lessons in Americana? And you,
fizrep and
chaosvizier: keep them G-rated.

...ummmmmm... that is, we could teach her to hate the French, just in case she hasn't mastered that skill. They're pretty nice and open up in Norway and haven't learned the finer points of francophobia. Heh.
Ok, barring that... American baseball? Nothing's more patriotic than rooting for a bunch of millionaire drug addicts beating balls with long hard wood. Nope.
