We are Indians?!

The little one tells Jr. during our Disney trip "We are Indians.. we helped the Pilgrims.. that is why everyone should thank us during thanksgiving!"

Me : !!!???!!!! Who taught you that?

Little one : My school.. I know all about thanksgiving!

Jr. : The Indians in the thanksgiving story are native Americans who wear feathers on their head.. not people from India.

LO : So nobody is thanking us? (looks sad)

Me : guess not.

LO : I was wondering because we don't eat turkey and live in teepees!


Now that we have the Indian side cleared up we might have to dispel doubts on who the pilgrims were...

Hi sundar,

My daughter told me at school some one asked her about her nationality.

She said Indian - the boy asked her back - Dotted kind or feathered kind?
