J the elder has decided he wants to be a Native American for Halloween. I have to admit, DH and I were not sure how to handle this; we don't want to be buying into any stereotypes or anything like that. We finally decided, what the heck, he does not even know the stereotypes! Anyway, the lastest hilarity stems from that.
J: I want to go to Africa and be an African American, can we go there someday?
Me: (trying to think of someway to explain ethnicity to a 4 year old)So, you want to be an American in Africa?
J:Yes! Can I wear my Native American costume when I am there?
