I will never not be fascinated by how incurious family has been about learning anything about Colombia in the 5 years I've been here. Two siblings still can't spell the country's name. Another thinks I live in the jungle. And all have such cosy presumptions about poverty that they dump on the whole of it.
(Father was amusingly worse. When I first told him I was leaving, he was terrified I'd join a cartel & asked how I expected to raise 3 kids here. [He figured my 3 nephews needed 3 cousins. π])
@MLClark
Oh Lord. Don't tell me your Dad said that before you even had kids? errgh
@MLClark @janallmac Yes but everyone knows women are only defined in society when they become mothers. /sarcasm My friend @Lena_Tasi has written extensively about this.
