They had a ton of stuff to tell me at lunch, lol! <br /><br />Kamille: Yes, I do pick them up at noon. They eat lunch at home and then I bring them back. A lot of kids go home for lunch but I think next year they will eat at the brand new school cafeteria. And I think you'd have a great time in France! <br /><br />Michael: I sometimes fear that having an American mom at that age may be ostracizing. I hope not, but we all know how cruel kids can be sometimes... However, being bilingual will open a world of opportunities for them and I hope they'll use it wisely as adults.<br /><br />Elise Fallsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734537117333738468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466797836225520430.post-43872637866470619722012-09-04T08:45:08.295-07:002012-09-04T08:45:08.295-07:00I think going to school in France as a child and b...I think going to school in France as a child and being an American at the same time could be so much fun.

I might even consider studying a course in French at uni.

I just likes home food more than crisps and a banana.
