Kids say the darndest things

We were talking with the kids about racial segregation at the dinner table a couple of nights ago, because Gunnar didn’t understand why it was a big deal that a black person was elected president.  We were telling the boys how interracial marriage used to be illegal, and Soren said

OK, if blacks can only marry blacks, and whites can only marry whites, then boys can only marry boys!

Hey, that is pretty sound logic by today’s political standards.   Good thing we got rid of those laws.

  2. Funny Lynn. My blog is still trying to decide what it wants to be when it grows up. What can I expect, I’m still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I couldn’t ask more from my blog.
