you know what's pathetic? "indian style" is a foreign phrase to today's children. it has now been replaced with "criss cross applesauce" which doesn't even mean anything to me. ok i get the criss cross part with your legs, but the applesauce? just cause it rhymes? that's stupid. it's so dumb that we have become so focused on being politically correct that we have replaced a common phrase that might have at one point made sense (hey, maybe the indians [excuse me, native americans] actually sat like that) with an insane grouping of words that manages to rhyme. are any indians actually offended by the phrase indian style? it just really bothers me that when i say to my kids at camp ok sit indian style, i am rewarded with a blank stare.
blah.
3 days left of camp.
