Speaking of different cultures, it will be a week or two before The Wheeler
household re-familiarizes ourselves with the "normal" Washingtonian verbiage
and proper American dialect.
We entertained the Wiggins from jolly ole England a few weeks ago followed
by The Zalakos clan from down under and it might take awhile before our son
properly pronounces words like tomato (TOE-MAY-TOE)-- not TOE-MAH-TOE again.
Although I will miss: the can of, curiously stronger than Altoids mints,
that came in the Uncle Joe's Mint Balls can (which we all thought were moth
balls at first), that Brian brought and listening to little Benjamin's
Australian rendition of Mother Goose rhymes:
(pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been, I've been to London to visit the
queen.
pussy cat, pussy cat what did you there?
I threw her out the window, the window, the 2nd story window, with a heave
and a ho and a
great big throw, I threw her out the window)......
So when I feel as though I am in a world of conformity and unity, I am
reminded that I have RangerNet buddies who are special individuals
distinctly unique, both physically, emotionally and spiritually.
