You may not know this about me, but I collect earrings from every county I've been in for longer than a layover. I have none from the Faroe Islands yet - which means maybe I just need to go back there! - but every other country is accounted for.
There are a group of first graders at lunch who are enthralled with my earrings. They love to ask me every day where they're from. The look of disappointment on their faces when I have to tell them a pair was made in the good old U.S. of A. is just sweet.
Today, with the U.S.A. earrings, I wore a necklace that was given to me by four girls from Madagascar. I can not tell you how many first graders, other graders AND staff commented on how pretty my necklace was.
When I got home, I showed Micah what I had worn today. Her response: "Mom, that necklace is so ugly." I agree with Micah. But it brought smiles!
