"The Black House"

Life according to my fourth grade boys- the following conversation took place during lunch today-

"the president doesnt live in the white house anymore."

"really? where does he live now?"

"the black house"

I tried to exaplain to them that the house is painted white and that is a WHITE HOUSE. That it doesnt matter what color the president is but the color of the house is the reason why it is called that. My response is as follows:

"No, no no Miss Hardddyy...Obama is our President he is black. it is a black house now miss hardy, a black house!!!"

And that is life according to the 4th grade class in Bryan ISD.
