I don't remember if I was a pilgrim or an Indian. E.G. was an Indian this year (a classmate of his has a father who is Native American and he came in, did a dance for them, and told them all kinds of "really cool things!" so I think E.G. was thrilled to be an Indian.)<br /><br />I DO remember the 1st Grade Circus where I was the Seal Trainer and got to wear a pink leotard and tutu.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-68442147932871617532009-11-25T23:45:29.305-07:002009-11-25T23:45:29.305-07:00We made grocery bag vests at our neighborhood pres...We made grocery bag vests at our neighborhood preschool this past week and it was a total hit. I think everyone likes playing the indian.<br /><br />I, however, was like you. The long dark hair, the dark skin...instant indian every time. Now that I'm older, though, I realize how much cooler that really was.Evie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17940786470613903465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-89629969392810384242009-11-25T21:53:19.773-07:002009-11-25T21:53:19.773-07:00I remember making the grocery bag vest and the hea...I remember making the grocery bag vest and the headband with the construction paper feathers.

But, one of my Navajo friends loves to share the following joke that I suspect applies here:<br /><br />What do you get when you put 100 white people in a room? <br />One Cherokee. <br /><br />get it? get it?

Dumb. <br /><br />I was probably a pilgrim because I'm albino. But I probably wanted to be an Indian. My husband looks like an Indian. My kids are albino.<br /><br />I took a percocet tonight and that probably just made no sense.Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087436937183831135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-32243006085582714022009-11-24T19:45:28.195-07:002009-11-24T19:45:28.195-07:00HAHAHAH Yen, perfect.
