Question answered.

LOL in the eyes of Gloria, that would be supporting the french option, since she hates that I fly (in real life).

She made me promise that I wouldn't get our sons to fly until they were old enough... she's afraid they may like it too much!

I hope she forgets... or/and forgives

Hmmm I've seen studies that showed bilingual kids (as in mixed-marriage) learn to read and write faster, AND also pick up other languages a lot faster.

My wife is Cambodian, and a lot of Cambodian kids I know tower over their parents over here too. Its pretty much the diet, things like cheese, milk, chocolate, a lot more beef make them grow bigger. The typical asian diet (esp Cambodia) consists of a lot of veges and rice, with stuff all meat.

Actually, yes it is. There was a sociological study conducted amongst Japanese living in the US after WW2 looking at body weight and physical height. For the most part, the Japanese adults born and raised in Japan were shorter and slighter, whereas their kids, born and raised in the US, or brought over at an early age, tended to have builds closer to the average of the US population. The study concluded that dietary intake and lifestyle contributed heavily to the increased size of person of Japanese descent.

It seems that the kids in Japan are also taller than their parents/grandparents were at the same ages. Seems it is the increased calcium intake of the increased milk in their diet compared to their parents/grandparents. I was visiting Japan last year and the kids seemed about near the same height as American kids for the same age groups.

I used to substitute in Several elementary school ESL (English as a Second Language) classes many years ago. Typical classes in Colorado might have: 1 Russian, 1 German, 1 Korean, 1 Indian and 8 Spanish speaking students. I would work in these classrooms once or twice a month. One thing that I noticed at the end of the school year was that the non Spanish speaking students learned Spanish, sometimes even faster/better than English, by the end of the school year.
All of their friends/classmates spoke Spanish, and comunicated mostly in Spanish. Talking with their friends was more important to them than learning English, so they had a real motive to learn it, and did!
