Cotton-Eyed Teague

The strange thing about American holidays overseas is that it's just a normal day for everyone else. Obviously no hint of pilgrims or turkeys anywhere, but also no school or business closures, no quiet streets and, sadly, nada in the way of traditional Thanksgiving fare at the local supermercado. Our turkey, which we shared Sunday, was imported from Brazil and had definitely been soaked in salt water for at least a decade. Apparently they think we eat salt licks for Thanksgiving.

Teague's concert has become our new Thanksgiving tradition, because it always falls on the 24th.

And what a visual feast it was!

With a theme like "Crazy Farm" how could it not be entertaining? Teague and his Kinder 4 classmates dressed as bulls and cows and performed their little number to none other than Elvis Presley. Donkey kicks, air guitar and Elvis.

Sean and I didn't actually get to sit together, which is odd, but when we approached the director before the show and asked about it, she said that we paid to see the show, not to see it together. This is now the #1 reason why we call her Sue Sylvester.

The other classes dressed as pigs, horses, rabbits and chickens, and the 5-year old class (farmers) debuted their English skills; each child narrated a sentence in English. I cannot wait until next year, because Teague is going to sound like a rockstar.

We're looking forward to seeing what they come up with next year, for Teague's grand finale.

Teague enters at 0:49. He's the fast cow.
