We´ve had some really great conversations with our new neighbors. This week we chatted with some students at one of the local elementary schools, and the conversation went something like this:
Students: What color are your eyes?
Bickfords: Blue. (We show the students our eyes.)
Students: Your eyes are green. But sometimes they look pink.
Kirstie: Pink?!
Students: Is your hair dyed?
Kirstie: No, it´s natural. Is your hair dyed?
Students: (Uncontrollable giggling. Then a pause...) Can we touch your arm?
Kirstie: Sure.
Students: (Rubbing Kirstie´s arm) Does your skin sparkle when you go in the sun?
We blame this conversation on Twilight.

I've never read twilight so I feel like I'm missing out! Glad to hear you are settling in! :)
