Race

Wm: We had to take a survey today about how we liked school. The teacher said that there were no right or wrong answers, but I didn't know one of the questions.
Me: What did it ask?
Wm: What is your race?
Me: So what did you put as your answer?
Wm: I guessed White and Native American.

First, it cracked me up that Wm didn't know what race he is! Some white privilege up in here. But, I loved even more that Captain Cracker put "Native American." I'm sure the school will be happy - he can up their URM percentages. He does have a couple drops of Native American blood, so I guess it's not a total wrong answer. But since he looks like he belongs on a Nazi propaganda poster, it's extra funny!

I am home with a sick Willie today. Poor kid. When he has a cold, he's always secretly happy, though, because he's allowed to sit around in his jammies and play on screens all day. Which is Wm's most favorite activity of all time. So even though he's miserable, he's also pleased as punch.
