Sitting down for my first Thanksgiving dinner with Squanto

This is too funny not to share. Obviously, during Thanksgiving, Seth learned about the Pilgrims and Indians in school, and the first Thanksgiving. We've discussed it a little bit, but last night, it was apparantly on his mind again. He looks at me with the most serious face, and says,

"Mama, were you a Pilgrim?"

I sit there -caught in between shock and laughter- and say, "no!" And Jessie, trying to stifle his laughter says, "Seth, some of our relatives from a long time ago were Indians!" and at the same time Seth is asking me,

"Well were you an Indian?"

So Jessie and I are both cracking up at this point and he tries to explain to Seth again that it was a long time ago and I say it was "before any of us were ever born" but Seth insists, "but I was born" and I say "no baby, it was before any of us were born!" He finally understood I guess, but I couldn't get the image out of my head of me in a long brown dress sitting down at a wooden table with turkey and vegetables spread out before me. Haha!
Its amazing how little of a concept of time Seth has. He's getting better. If I say something will happen "in a few days" and show him on the calendar, he gets it. But he obviously -already- thinks I am Really Old!
