My grandfather immigrated from Russia (sadly he passed way before I came along or I'd have these great stories too..anyway I digress). My entire childhood we were SCREAMED at and possibly beaten if we dared to walk around without socks. I NEVER knew that was just a little part of my Russian heritage. Fantastic. My daughter is clearly all american. Her socks line the floors of my house. Then again, maybe that's why she's always sick!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949898002784637260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-9302174535147236932009-03-24T21:05:00.000-04:002009-03-24T21:05:00.000-04:00I've decided next time I come to NYC I am staying ...I've decided next time I come to NYC I am staying with you. for about a month. or two.Vodka Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734323418017847775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-18288786680286930322009-03-24T20:49:00.000-04:002009-03-24T20:49:00.000-04:00I am intensely curious what the Fourth Amendment w...I am intensely curious what the Fourth Amendment was in Russia those (not so) many years ago.

So you've thrown me into some amount of confusing with your "peeked" rather than "piqued". I've pretty much decided that you probably used "peeked" because you knew I'd be looking for your response and you felt that maybe, due to my low grade education, you'd make it easier on me. But really, it's okay to use the more challenging words, I have dictionary.com on book mark and I enjoy learning despite my grumbling.Gone, long gone.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06643107678702209552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-31724378358812155112009-03-24T09:52:00.000-04:002009-03-24T09:52:00.000-04:00This was such a pleasure to read.

So to clarify, Russians believe that if a child is getting sick, it'l likely because (a) the child was without slippers at some point and came in contact with THE FLOOR, that well-known conduit of all illnesses; (b) someone looked at the child with an evil-eye; and/or (c) the child needs to be conditioned and what better way than to drag the sniffling kid across Leningrad for some swimming lessons. Since my parents were confident that a&b, as described above, didn't apply, I was sentenced to swimming lessons. Actually, I think I'm starting to realize why I wanted to jump in front of the bus.Marinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489592695993949578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-64458921355201238972009-03-24T08:16:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:16:00.000-04:00an idiot already?
