No reformed Mormon Cricket is some sort of non aggressive baseball

No, I didn't see Mulan, though now I want to because of the cricket.
The reason I defended Jiminy Cricket is: "Ah yes, I remember him well."
I saw him with my French grandparents when about four years old.

I can speak embarrassingly little French (as was obvious in 2015 while in France), yet with immersion I could speak much more. I do understand much dialogue in French movies, so I don't need subtitles very much.

My grandmother was from Marseille, and grandfather from Brest. My grandmother was a lace maker, crocheter and embroiderer in New York. My grandfather was in the French Maritime several years in Tahiti. Then they both moved and met in San Francisco. They owned a delicatessen and did all the work themselves ... Grandma was cook, and it was delicious, particularly the main courses and side dishes. I may have given too much information here.

Are your ancestors from Europe too?

@altschmerz
Even a little socializing with one's grandparents is good for a sense of one's ethnic culture.
Seeing them in very old photos, it seemed like 110 years ago, from an era that was utterly different and nostalgic and could be rendered into a painting.

@altschmerz
It's very nice to get to know you.
