So, now to less confusing cultural differences. (In regards to my last post: you say tomato, I say child endangerment.) You may be aware of Cinco de Mayo, but don't forget to celebrate May 5 as Children's Day, too. Children's Holiday ("kodomo no hi") is a holiday celebrated in Japan. It is a day focused on celebrating the happiness of children. Rather than throwing children from buildings, children eat special foods and get to fly kites. Tell me which you prefer! I've been meaning to find a carp kite to fly for today, but I might just make one with Zeke for next year. Follow the link for more information and making a carp kite. So next year, if you don't have too many margaritas, don't forget the kites!

The carp kite looks like a fun project.
Happy Children's Day and blessings to all children.
I'm all out of tequila.
