(Not One Of) History’s Mysteries
(I am helping a little boy find a children’s book on Native American history for a book report.)
Me: “I think this one will come in handy. It’s all about the different Native American tribes and traditions. It even includes a large map showing where the Native American tribes lived.”
Little Boy: “Thank you!”
(He walks away with his book and an adult customer approaches me.)
Customer: “Why did you do that?”
Me: “Do what?”
Customer: “Tell him those are real.”
Me: “Native Americans?”
Customer: “Yes!”
Me: “Because they are real.”
Customer: “No! They only exist in movies with cowboys!”
Me: “I can assure you that Native Americans exist.”
Customer: *mocking* “I suppose you believe cowboys really existed, too?”
