Toddler Boy is in pre-school for three days a week, three hours each day. Pretty low intensity stuff. The wifest is one of the teachers so Toddler Boy is never far from mommy.

Toddler Boy’s teacher (not mommy, but another lady) has taught her class a new Thanksgiving song called, I assume, “Pilgrims and Indians.” Really cute song. It goes something like this:

Pilgrims and Indians working together

working together

working together

Pilgrims and Indians fishing together

fishing together

fishing together

Pilgrims and Indians worked in the garden

worked in the garden

worked in the garden

etc, etc, etc …

Historically it’s not terribly accurate because what really happened was more like “Pilgrims and Indians warring together, warring together, warring together.” And then somewhere, possibly during the bridge, the Pilgrims forcefully remove said Indians from their land and then somehow convince themselves that the Indians were asking for it. But I digress, the song is cute.

Furthermore, Toddler Boy makes this song especially cute because he has trouble pronouncing his N’s so “Indians” comes out “Idiots”. Cute, right? Yeah, but the best part is he likes to dress up like an Idiot, complete with feather-laden headband and “animal skin” t-shirt. He’ll then run around the house yelling, “Look, I’m an Idiot!”

Oddly enough, he can pronounce his N’s just fine when he’s telling us “No!” Go figure.

I really need to get a video camera so I can show this stuff to his first girlfriend.
