We were living in Turkey the day the U.S. invaded Iraq three and a half years ago. Very scary. I had an emergency suitcase packed in the closet in case we had to get out of our situation fast, and we kept Kid.01 home from his preschool. We really didn’t know how Turks would react to the invasion (in the end, we never felt any animosity toward us personally). I was glad it was freezing that day so I could cover my head with a scarf to hide my blondness. Kid.02 was just a baby at that time, and he sang “Row, Row, Row your Boat” at the top of his lungs as we strolled to school. So much for my low profile.
Let’s just say I am thrilled at the results of the election back home! I'm not even upset that Arnie-Baby won again.
