As I said that I thought in my head, Names are not really like that anymore. Girls can be named boy's names and it's socially acceptable. Oh well.
We got to a page where Johnny visited a Native American territory to give them apple seeds, and seedlings to plant. Isaak said, "Mom I didn't realize Joanie traveled all the way to India!" *Face palm!
I said, "Johnny didn't travel to India. He's in the US."
Sorry...crappy picture from our book. It was night time.
Isaak looked confused and said, "Oh." I know he's heard of Native American's called Indians from Little House on the Prairie. That must be where the confusion is coming from.
As a kid they always were Indians. We sat Indian style. Now it's Native Americans and criss cross applesauce.
I had a slight chuckle over it. Kids just kind of say what's on their little minds.

Isn't that part of their charm? When we don't want to throttle them, that is. ;-)
Allison is forever saying what's in her mind. And she writes some of it down too. It's annoying and endearing all at the same time.
I live in major Indian territory (the Wompanoags) and they refer to themselves as Indians, so most people around here still call them Indians, not native Americans.
Yes!! I am indian... but not the India Indian. I am a cowboy and indians Indian.
