    I can see grandpa’s concern but he IS a little demanding.

    I suppose remembering your heritage is a good thing, but I’m glad my parents didn’t think that way.

    I mean, on my mom’s side it would have been OK, English and Swedish, not bad.

    On dad’s side? English, Spanish, German, French, Cherokee, Seminole, African (of unknown national origin), plus who KNOWS what else.

    I would be a very mixed-up person – instead of simply very mixed!

    Then again, I’m currently trying to learn French, Spanish, German, and Swedish on Duolingo, so I really am kind of mixed up now.

    “Itadakimasu” is an essential phrase in your Japanese vocabulary. It’s often translated as “I humbly receive,” but in a mealtime setting, it’s compared to “Let’s eat,” “Bon appétit,” or “Thanks for the food.” Some even liken it to the religious tradition of saying grace before eating.
