The kids in school are always telling me who they are related to. Up in these parts there are many trees that don't branch far. Those are my favorite stories. "I'm my own grandpa. I'm my own grandpa. It sounds funny I know, but it really is so. I'm my own grandpa." Many students will be able to sing that song.
Today I had a cute, and less disturbing, geneology lesson.
Student: Mrs. Grant. Pocahontas was my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandma.
Me: That's nice.
Student: That makes me 50% Indian and 50% Pilgrim. She married a Pilgrim, you know.
Me: Indeed, indeed!
HAHAHAHA. I really love 2nd Graders.
This was my Elizabeth, wasn't it? She is so funny!
