Too Much Greek Yogurt?

Lately Rionn has been obsessed with heritage.  Not sure if it's something that is in the lesson plans at school, or if it's just his curious little mind.  Sometimes he has these profound things to say.  Things that make your head turn and ask him if he's really just 7.  But yesterday he asked me what Cole was.  And I had to think about what he was really asking.  He meant was heritage is Cole.  Where did his ancestors come from.  So I said I knew he was part Greek.   Rionn said that was just from dad eating too much Greek yogurt.  A simple reminder that, yes indeed, he's still a little boy.  And then I called grandma.  Because she ought to know.  Well Grandma said she was half Greek/half German.  Then she said she didn't know about Jim.  So we should call Uncle Don.  Then Cole decided that Rionn should write an old fashion, pen and paper, with a stamp and envelope letter.  To Aunt Vivian.  Because she's studied lineage and heritage.  So this weekend, we'll write a letter.  May have to write several.
