The African American Flag!

Rose was painting a flag on her Welcome Home poster for Mike. While she was painting it she kept calling it an African American Flag. I thought she was just getting the words American and African American confused. I thought it was cute and wanted her to tell Mike when he got home so I didn't correct or explain it to her just yet. After we washed the paint and glitter glue off of her hands. She rubbed colorful glitter that remained on her hands and said, "Mommy I still have some "African American" on my hands. I asked her if she knew what African American meant and her reply was, "Yes, it is a skin color." I then asked her what made her flag an African American flag and she said "It has many different colors."
