Reality is a concept. We are all the centres of our own universes; the trouble comes when someone else wants to be the centre of yours without consulting you.

    Maybe that’s why I never had kids…

    We call it “the mother’s curse”: When you grow up I hope you have a kid just like you!"

    In a quiet way, there’s a lot of Mom in Calvin.

    How quickly the little ones grow up! Just a few days ago Schroeder was falling asleep during story time, and now he has a wallet.

    Nothing risqué. I was an insomniac for years, my husband slept through trash trucks, sirens down our street and a marching band for a religious procession. Never even turned over.

    Some may, I certainly don’t vote in US elections though I vote in Spanish ones. The British people I knew who retired here certainly voted for stuff in the UK; Brexit made many of them return there, but they certainly refer to themselves as “expats.” It only means “outside your own country” after all.

    A person who relocates to a different country and gets a job and settles in is known as an “expatriate”. It’s a legal term with no pejorative connotations.

    If you have large items like furniture, mattresses etc you’re supposed to call the trash company and they supposedly come and take it away. Most people here just put it by their nearest dumpster and the pickers take it away much, much quicker. Sometimes the person doesn’t even have time to get back in their building and it’s gone, so they must have spotters for certain things.

    We have a miniature statue of the KC Indian On Horseback in the middle of a major intersection. He always looks like he’s saying, “How the heck did I get here!”

    Valencianos are addicted to gunpowder. They can’t celebrate anything without insane amounts of fireworks. They have this thing that you throw on the ground and it goes BANG, and they buy them by the dozen. Here in Sevilla, fireworks are hard to buy.
