heritage lesson

Grace: "Mom, who are the Buckleys?"

Me: "You know who the Buckleys are. Name some of them."

Grace, being silly: "I don't know...who?"

Kris: "Grandma Donna, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Sherri, Meaghan... And Grandma Sharon was a Buckley, before she married Papa Mike."

Grace: "What?!"

Me: "And that means you are part-Buckley."

Grace: "What?!"

Kris (nodding at Sam): "And you, too."

Sam: "No, I'm a wirepond...all the boys are wireponds, not Buckleys."

Grace: "And all the girls are cegas. That's what I learned at school."

I give up.
