sunflower seeds

Another culture shock! Kirk found some sunflower seeds the other day, so he bought a big bag. After we got them home found out that they didn't quite taste like the ones in the states. These had vinegar on them or something. We just couldn't eat them so we were planning on giving them to someone here. The bag was still on the table yesterday when some of our neighbors came over to play. Without our knowledge the girls got into the sunflower seeds, which would have been fine if they would have eaten them and spit the seeds in the garbage or outside; but not these kids instead they spit the shells on the floor in three different rooms in our house. Needless to say when Ayden came and got Kirk and I we were not very happy. I fussed at them the best I could in Arabic and then Kirk got the vacuum and gave it to them and we made them clean it all up. I just couldn't believe that they thought it was okay to just spit the shells all over the floor. Guess I still have a lot to learn about culture differences. Anyway, I think after they saw how upset we were that they will not do that again.
