Politically Incorrect Toddler

WARNING: This is completely politically incorrect and possibly offensive. It was said however with shear innocence.

SCENARIO: Watching the Suns playoff game the night Al Sharpton had his immigration march.
Television flashes to a picture of the march.

Tween: Are all those people Mexican?

Me: No Tween, they are not all HISPANICS ( Emphasis on correctness) There are a lot of different races walking together in protest.

Toddler: Wow! That's a lot of Mexicans!

Toddler: TaTa (grandpa) , so when to men hold hands while walking they are called Mexicans!

TaTa: (quick response) Not that's called marching.

Me: ( Laughing hysterically on the inside. )

Welcome to my politically incorrect family by accident.

Katie

Today I realized how much I miss you. Yesterday I remembered how much I love you in my life. Tomorrow hopefully you will read this and smile. Your strength and grace amazes me and I marvel at your unrelenting faith. Oh, to trust in good and life without question has always eluded me but you are proof in its good. I too hope to achieve this level of trust in the Lord. You are my mentor, sister and friend; forever a confidant always a blessing.
