I'm sitting here at 0200, reading my daughter-in-law's blog and loving the pictures of my grandkids when I see a beautiful face next to one of her comments. The name next to it is Dacia. So I click on it to see the face a little better. Then a list of blogs that Dacia reads comes up. First I read one called Chronicles of Momnia and the writing turns out to be as clever as the title. Then I try yours on for size and I enjoy the heck out of it. I taught History in a public high school for 20 years. The Mexican kids seemed to love me, so I naturally loved them right back. Maybe they liked me because I told the "whole" truth, at least when I knew it. Like the siege of the military school at Chapultapec and the Ninos Eroes who jumped off the school's highest tower and fell into the canyon behind it, wrapped in the Mexican flag. My Anglo kids were visibly moved by that. My Mexican kids were amazed that I even bothered to tell that side of the Mexican War. Both groups used to laugh when I'd point to one of the states we'd gotten in the so-called "Mexican Cession" and say, "Hey, we stoled it fair and square!"<br /><br />Well buddy, you just keep on loving Mexicans. And I will, too.<br /><br />Jim Haeberle<br />Chubbuck, IdahoJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577556337909585061noreply@blogger.com
