This morning my curious little second-grader pulls this ornament off the tree and asks me a very innocent question. The ornament is one that was made for me by my cousin when I was in middle school, and it has my picture on it (my sixth-grade picture). Here is a photo of the well-worn, once-upon-a-time-glittery ornament:
So, he pulls it off the tree and while he's holding it, asks me with an innocent smile on his face, "Is this an artifact?"
Obviously he's been learning about artifacts in school. He has been asking me that question often anyway since he learned the term in school a couple of months ago.
Of course, I just started howling when he asked me that, and even though I tried to explain what's so funny, the joke is completely lost on him :)
Made my day, so I thought it too good to keep to myself! ;)
