Once again My kidss prove they are smarter

Ok, I’m not sure but I either live with the descendant of Mr.Owl or Gandi During supper I was having a conversation with Calvin about The Civil Rights Movement; in particular Rosa Parks, (famous for not giving up her seat in Montgomery, Al). http://teacher.scholastic.com/rosa/ After a time he asked if I was prejudice…answer:”Hummm, I guess a little. I have had some black friends but I don’t particularly feel comfortable enough to want to live in an all black neighborhood. I don’t know, just the culture is different, the walk and talk is different…I guess” At this point Cal gets up from the table and begins walking heal/toe and waddling a bit around the table looking like Charlie Chaplin. Me “Cal! What the hell are you doing? Go finish your supper”. Cal “I’m a penguin” Me “That’s nice, now go eat” Cal ”I may walk funny but I’m still a bird” Me “Huh?” Cal “I don’t fly either, I swim”. Me I said nothing, starting to catch on to where this is going. Cal “I may not look or act like a bird to you but I’m still a bird” Does anyone else’s kids do this to them?
