Conversations in the Car

The 5 yr old asks,  "Mom, are bushmen real?
Since the kids have recently been hooked on The Gods Must Be Crazy II, I figured I knew what he meant, so I said, "You mean Kalahari Bushmen that live in Africa?"
"Yes," he answered.
"Yup, they are real," I said.
Then the three-year old piped, "Mom, are we bushmen?"
"No, we are Americans" I replied.
"Do we live in Africa," she continued.
"No, we live in the United States of America," I responded, sure the reply would end the discussion.
But she had one last question, "Mom, are we real?"
