Scott had the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games on TV tonight.  The kids weren't really interested, but Toby asked "what is Olympic Games?"

Scott replied "our country competes against all the other countries of the world.  Including Mommy's country."

What? Huh?  I was quick to remind him that the kids are British too!!

It was all very funny, but does highlight the almost impossibility of giving them a sense of British identity.  Not that it seems to matter here, where everyone claims a heritage other than American, regardless of if they lived there or not.

One day we'll be able to spend more time there, probably learn more about it than I know now!
