Last week my son and his friends were talking about foods – everything from what kind of ramen noodles to buy at H-Mart to what kind of chocolate to use when making chocolate chip cookies. Then they decided to share with each other. Four of them dropped off at each other’s houses a treat. What struck me is how interested they were in each other’s cultures/traditions. One Pakistani Muslim family, one Korean family, one white family, and one Chinese family. That’s what I like about Howard County- the kids are getting to know people who are different from their own families.
