And back on track.
The other day we invite to lunch my sister in law, who is a high school English teacher.
As at this Saturday morning I had a club meeting, the guests arrived before me.
When I arrived home my little daughter told me that her aunt told her that her father is doing very cruel things to his trees, wiring, pruning and pinching.
At first I had thought that "somebody" deserves severe pinching, but I did nothing.
At lunch I asked my sister in law - "why you are eating pickled children?" - She answered - "WHAT?!" - I said you are eating the pickled olives- they are the children of the olive tree…
I am afraid ignorance is shared equally all over the world, the problem is that it is very easy to confuse freedom of thinking with ignorance.
