Racist.......or not so much!

This morning we were all having breakfast and Carter tipped his juice out of his cup (as usual) and managed to spill it all over his pants as well. We asked Tony to take Carter up to the laundry to put his pants in the washing basket. After a couple of minutes they were still not back and we heard little voices shouting. In Tonys sweet little voice we could hear shouts of
"White Power! White Power!" and Carter doing his best to copy.
Anthony and I exchanged horrified looks and couldnt believe this could be coming from our 4 year old! We called him down to the kitchen straightaway and asked him where he had heard this phrase from. He told us he made it up himself when he was in the laundry. He told us he would show us and not knowing what this meant we followed him.
THANKFULLY he pointed out all the washing powder that had spilt onto the washing machine and said to us.....
"See - white powder!"
I am relieved to say the least.

  1. Haha! Your boys will love hearing all the stories about the funny things they use to say and do. That is when they're old enough to understand why they're funny. Mum told me about the "driving nuts" story, they always make me laugh!
