Not foreign enough

I had never known that there could be a level of ´foreignnesss´. That someone could be to foreign, not foreign enough or just right.

They have a summer camp for children that have recently moved to Iceland. Children can go for free in July if they have been in the country for less then 4 years. The 9-4 program is very useful for teaching kids the language. Sounds great, so we signed up Kasper.

They said he was not foreign enough. I guess that because I married a citizen, he is not foreign....Enough. He has never before been to Iceland, does not know the language but was not at considered foreign enough for this program.
So, they charged Kristina, my sister-in-law, 9000kr for him to go to camp for 2 weeks.

This makes no sense.

Inga and I went down to A Hus and asked about it. They did not understand either. As far as they were concerned, Kasper was foreign and deserved to go to a camp just like the other foreign kids.

The friendly people at A Hus sorted it out and Kristina should be paid back her money soon. Kasper starts camp tomorrow.

Plan B was to make him look more foreign by coloring his hair. I am glad didn't have to come to that!
