home girl

i got a book out of the library to read to brooke titled Minnow and Rose. tonight before i read it, i showed her the cover & asked if she could figure out which of the two girls was minnow & which was rose. there was one w/ long black braids & one w/ shorter, bright red hair. brooke said, "i think that minnow is the indian & so rose must be the home girl." when asked for an explanation of why she'd referred to that girl as a "home girl," she said, "i don't know what to call that kind of person! but she lives in a home & not a teepee, right?!"

my kid is so funny to me!
