- Cakes: "Who was here first? Oh wait, I know, the leprechauns."
- Tortilla: "No, it was Santa."
- Sue Sue: "No, it was just other people."
- Roo: "Yeah, other people who didn't have enough money and had to find a new house to live in." (Oops, our talk about why Mommy and Daddy work may have gone a tad too far).
- Cakes: "No, no, remember, we learned this in school. The Indians were the first people to live here."
- Tortilla: "Oh yeah. With the people who wore those tall hats with buckles."
- Sue Sue: "I'm telling you, it was just people."
- Roo: "Yeah, let's just say other people."

Who Was Here First? (A History Lesson)
Before school this morning, my girls had an interesting and fairly amusing conversation.

I love Sue Sue's "It was just people". Don't you wish you could see what is really going on in their heads when they discuss things like this?
I like Sue Sue's comment too. It's interesting that they do have a concept of people living there before they did.
It's so good to know that other mothers live in a similar world to mine. :)
I LOVE this conversation.
Very cute! I love listening to kids' conversations.
This is great! I remember being devastated when my grandfather corrected me at about age seven. I had the Indians and Pilgrims and Christopher Columbus all mixed up. I love that your girls are considering Santa and leprechauns, too....HA!
