Who Was Here First? (A History Lesson)

Before school this morning, my girls had an interesting and fairly amusing conversation.

• 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."
