My friend has boys older than my son and often gives me bags of gently used clothing. That's how Clownfish attained a navy sweatshirt with a Canadian flag on it. He hasn't worn it yet this winter, but I haven't done laundry lately, so he dug deep into the shirt drawer today. He came out of his room all dressed this morning, wearing the shirt.
CF: Mommy what flag is this?
Me: Canada.
CF: So that's not the same as the USA. It is another country?
(Note: this sentence makes him officially more globally knowlegable than most of the middle school students I ever taught)
Me: That's right.
CF: Oh! I remember! They won the hockey at the Olympics! And the skier won for his brother and his brother was so happy. He got the gold medal. Canada is nice. And I have I good memory.
I love it! CF is one cool little guy!
