In the mind of a boy named Drew

Drew has been bugging my about decorating for Christmas. REALLY? I can't do it until the evening of Thanksgiving at the earliest....so we had this conversation this morning....
Drew: When are we going to decorate for Christmas? Everyone else is.
Mom: I bet those Pilgrims are rolling over in there graves because everyone is skipping Thanksgiving....we will do it after Thanksgiving.
Drew: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Native Americans....the real ones that lived in T-pees and chased buffalo.

As if I was going to go think that it was some other Native Americans, 'real ones'! After I got done laughing about the image of a politically correct "Native American" chasing a buffalo I just had to tell him that they celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. He acted kind of surprised about that one.

Tristan and I had a similar converstaion, minus the "real native americans" but about getting Christmas decorations up. I so agree, we need to wait till after thanksgiving! Your post made me laugh.
