went to the big monthly high school parent meeting in the school auditorium. i hadn’t been to one this year and felt i was being negligent. turns out i was one of only 2 parents in the international program. the “directrice” has been at the school a long time. (in fact, i know a woman in her eighties from my college alum group in paris, and she said that HER daughter had this woman as a teacher...) the directrice has a powerful presence. she began speaking and one of the moms in charge of the parent group was whispering to another mom. the directrice stopped speaking abruptly, turned to face her and stared. a power stare. the mom stopped whispering and giggled. it was very funny. like we were kids in class...
our conversation group organizer is originally from lebanon and she prepared us a delicious lebanese lunch. middle eastern stuff like hummus, eggplant salad, special cheese and other salads. we also had that wonderful soft fresh pita bread.
