Zachary is learning about cultures in his Social Studies course. Yesterday I was reading him a paragraph under a picture. In the picture was a group of children; an Asian child, an African-American, a white child, a Hispanic child. While I read the paragraph, Zachary was studying the picture. I read:
"A culture is a way of life shared by a group. The languages people speak, the clothes they wear, and the things they celebrate are all part of culture."
After which Zachary immediately said with complete confidence, as if the author of this paragraph had obviously forgotten to include this fact, "Well, and their hair...."
Ain't it the truth.
