For Mother’s Day, N organized a surprise visit to a local farm for a strawberry picking outing. The Ukrainian woman who is staying with us was in stitches. “I got to film it!” she kept exclaiming. “I’ve got to show it back home! American not only work for free in the fields. They pay to do it! Cultural differences!”
On the positive side, we finally tasted strawberries that I’m no way reminded us of plastic.

Though Indian and Chinese immigrants to Britain appear to be pretty good. On the last page here, you can see just how well their descendants perform intellectually:

You don’t work in the fields on a regular basis like some of the Latin Americans do, that’s the difference!
