the indian story

last year my grand daughter told her mother this story about indians, evidently she was learning about them in pre-school. as her mother said this is the perfect reason you and your children don't really need television, they can be so entertaining on their own:
indians
eat cooked crabs
wear no clothes
speak spanish and the word "oputueeso" means "hand over the food"
they have no trampolines
live in tents with buttons with no doors you just punch the tent to get out and all the kids sleep in one room with bunk beds
they don't brush teeth so they don't have any
they take showers in a water fountain and use fish soap
and then go to bed at 7
they do breathing exercises to keep them from getting fat
and can only eat junk food in the fall
boys and girls wear any kind of make up they like
they go to indian school and learn about eating healthy fish
they draw with feathers cause they have no pens
all the kid indians smoke all day long except when they're sleeping and they don't die
for their birthday's kids get fish presents
and they have cheetah pets to take them places
for fun they play with ice but not the grown ups just the kids

when her mom asked her how she knew all of this she said "I saw them do it before. Sorry but I gotta get goin mommy." Then she wrote down on a piece of paper her "indian" address where I could write her a letter and send it to her tent.

think we might have another writer in the family?
