Ricky's Drawing of a.....a....ummm

The other night we were all sitting around the TV and Ricky was drawing and coloring. He proudly showed us this drawing. Mark and I laughed til we cried and he told us what this is - but you know what this really looks like! This is a picture of a walker on Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back. See the guy sitting up top?

Mark sent this pic out to our friends and family to see if anyone could correctly guess what this was - and nobody got it. It's hard!! hahahaha!!

A Lesson on Race

Our local outdoor shopping mall has a mini park that's hilly where kids love to run around. The other day we all ventured out there because I had some presents to buy. I left the boys with Mark and went on my way. Teddy slept in the stroller and Ricky played in that park for about an hour.

When we were going home, I asked Ricky about the park and asked him who he played with.  

Ricky said, "I played with a boy, but I didn't ask his name. He didn't look like any of my friends."

I said, "Oh really? Who did he look like?"

Ricky said, "The boy I played with looked like James Brown!"

I tried not to laugh and later found out from Mark that the boy Ricky played with was Indian. We talked about race in a car for a little bit - as long as a four year old boy was interested.
