Random Conversation with My Kid about Political Correctness















Shannon and I have both been stranded at home with terrible bronchitis. Too much togetherness inevitably leads to bickering sometimes. Then hugs. And then more bickering.

Shan: “It's NATIVE AMERICAN. We do not say INDIAN. Mother.”

Me: (rolls eyes) “Whatever. And it's not MOTHER. It's MATERNAL UNIT.”

Shan: (frogs me)
