my own skin

was more in my own skin today - felt like i anyway:

to have german acquaintance-visitors
that felt at home in our diggs
.
and i felt at home talking
however my mouth grew (as the germans say)

refreshing and funny
talking about the different cultures...
how this makes sense here,
how that makes sense there...
and how nice it would be to
mix the american niceness and politeness
with the german candidness and honesty

where i feel o.k. the way i parent
because i know i'm not weird, i just parent more german :)

nice.
bye.
and thank you for a piece of that part of home.
