A City Girl

How do I know we're raising a city girl?

-when the only wildlife she sees are pigeons
-when she sleeps through revving motorcycles and fights right outside her window
-when she cheerfully rides in buses, trains, and taxis, but doesn't like CARS
-when she has to go to a park to see grass
-when most of the plants she sees are in pots

-when she sees and loves people of all races
-when she gets to try many different types of food (Indian is her favorite--she loves to dip all the breads in the sauces.)
-when she has learned to wait (in lines, for buses, for service from slow waiters...)

There are some disadvantages. Sometimes I long for a pet and wide open spaces. (I watch the movie "The Horse Whisperer" just for the scenery!) But city life has its advantages. I've learned a lot here and I'm sure Ana will too.
