Manner Education Class

Here is a shot of my kids during their manner education class. It was for one hour last week and a Korean woman came in and taught the kids how to bow properly, how sip tea properly and how to make these weird cookie things out of green sticky dough. I tried the cookie things, they tasted awful...worse than I remember communion bread tasting (which was dry, chalky paste that stuck to the roof of your mouth). These cookies literally had the consistency and taste of eating a handful of playdoh that has been sitting out in the sun for half a day. Anyway it's all part of the experience. One interesting and humbling part of the class was at one point the Korean manner teacher asked me to sit on the cushions on stage and asked my kids to bow to me. That was a different feeling. Also my kids started calling me "Omaa" during this class and when I inquired the meaning of "Omaa" I was told it means Mother. Cute eh?

So here's the shot of Momma Amy and her little kids dressed in their beautiful Hanboks (traditional Korean outfits).
