 CS> she likes.  'Fish sticks' were served yesterday and she explained what
 CS> the real thing is.  I've been demanded to make 3 of them sometime soon
 CS> for her to take to lunch so she has 2 to share <g>.
 
 GJ> Have you been able to do that yet?

 CS> Not yet.  Havent found any whole fish we liked the looks of yet. 

I suppose there would not be a great market for small, whole fish (ie
"bait fish") in the USA where you are living.  Of course I would think
that they would have to be very fresh for fish sticks.

 CS> Heck, I'm still showing Don how to use our oven  Has a different sort
 CS> of oven (buttons vice dials for the heat).

Aaarrhh!  These new-fangled push button devices!!  I like dials better.
 
 GJ> Good.  If she can entertain the other school kids, that helps.

 CS> Sadly she found out that 'halloween here ends age 13' (some of her age
 CS> mates say it's not cool to go out over age 12).  awwww.  Oh well. 
 CS> She's going one last time anyways and taking the neighbors 4yo out as a
 CS> cover <g>.  Thats one of the holidays that vary with age and Virginia
 CS> beach ends a bit earlier than most I'd say.  Sasebo, it was 'cool' up
 CS> to age 16.  Most places, 14 or 15. 
 CS> She said some of her classmates looked like they really wanted to go
 CS> but were  peer pressured into not doing it.  Part of Charlotte's charm
 CS> is she really  doesnt give a rats ass about peer pressure.  She wears
 CS> funky glasses chains I've
 CS> gathered all over asia and she likes them.  When one of the girls said
 CS> it was  'wierd' she said 'well, I like wierd and I like these. I also
 CS> like your earrings and they are kinda wierd' (kid was wearing something
 CS> that looked like fishhooks).

How did the other girl react to that?

 CS> Anyways, she's dressing up as a geisha (have kimono and hair
 CS> chopsticks). -- Oh man

Wow!  And the shoes and tiny steps walk to go with the dress?

 CS> later edit.  News just listed rules and over age 12 isnt allowed? 
 CS> Hell with them.  She's going out just along our block to see the sights
 CS> and have a little
 CS> fun.  We'll take Christopher with us (age 4).

Well, of course the little ones need someone to look after them!

 CS> --
 
 GJ> civilised Charlotte will be able to invite school friends home to see
 GJ> what sort of a weirdo mother she has, who gives her daughter dead fish
 GJ> to eat for lunch.  :)
 
 CS> Yuppers!
 
 GJ> Hehe!  That should be interesting.

As Charlotte has a birthday coming up, perhaps she could invite a group
of them, and you could feed them a good range of stuff, starting off
with something like this:
