>>>I saw two of your kids steal my bicycles. I saw them through the fence as they were approaching, one had a white T-shirt, didn't quite notice the other's garments. I thought they may be up to something, but then I gave them the benefit of the doubt - they may have been playing and lost the ball somewhere behind our car, or something, so I didn't get up to check.
>>>
>>>Well, too bad. The bicycles were the cheap Walmart stuff - too bad for the $20 seats we added - and I don't care for whatever value they may still have. I may even buy a bicycle on a yard sale... or buy my own bicycle back, whatever.
>>>
>>>It's just that you have lost my respect, pretty much forever. Unless the bicycles are back by tomorrow morning, when parents return, which I doubt. I am not giving a dime, ever again, for any of your charities, I'm not putting up a light on Halloween, and I will most probably find it in me to yell at any kids playing too close to our roses. I had all the good will to be a good neighbor, but this takes the cake. Shove the bicycles where the sun don't shine.

>Where I live there are very few black people. This was driven home to me 2 summers ago when we went up to London and went to watch the Notting Hill Carnival. My youngest daughter, then only 6/7, turned to me and said, "Daddy, why are there so many brown people here?" I suddenly realised that she was growing up in a world where she was unaware of their existence.
When I was kid growing back in Serbia, only black people there used to be foreign students from african countries
Well one of them came straight at my door. As mom told me years later, I was standing there with my mouth wide open
while everybody else died laughing. His name was Dr Willson from Ghana. Him and his wife were visiting my parents from time
to time and we became friends. Very nice people. I was already dreaming of going to Africa to see all those elephants and tigers and eat all those bananas and other 'exotic' fruits :)
But after year or so they returned back to Ghana and we never saw them again.
Here in Cyprus I have put my daughter in an internationa nursery from very start. She made friends with half planet already :)
Hence; school events/occasions looks prety much like UN assembly - Just much better {g}
