Perspective

One of the fascinating things about adopting older children internationally is that they see American culture through fresh eyes. Yesterday, at Rachel's basketball game, the action often stopped due to held balls (when players of opposing teams have simultaneous control of the ball).

Kola: "Mama, what are they doing?"

Mama: "They're fighting over the ball."

Kola: "They shouldn't be fighting. That's not allowed."
At least he's been listening to us at home!

Mama: "OK, they're not really fighting. They just both want the basketball."

Kola: "Why don't they play with TWO balls?"
