Actual Conversation:
Me: Hey mom… what is the name of the type of Indian we have in our family? I tried to tell Brock what it was and I couldn’t remember.
Mom: Let me think… um… Oh! The Micmac Indians!
Me: (begins laughing) Are you serious? When I couldn’t remember the name, I told Brock they were called something like, “The Paddiwhack Indians.”
Mom: (begins laughing too) Paddiwhack, Mandy?
Me: Yeah, mom. You know… The Micmac… Paddiwhack…
Mom: … give a dog a bone! (laughs uncontrollably until she has to go pee.)
For real, I’m that smart.
My son is 1/32 Micmac indian, and 1/32 Cherokee indian.
