Sacagawea

At the end of October, Eric and I are going to a party hosted by his work.  It is a costume party  (how I missed that when I agreed to the party is beyond me…)  Anyway, Eric and I had been looking for costumes on-line, but hadn’t found exactly what we wanted. 

Yesterday, when I was at Fred Meyer with the monkeys, we stopped by the costume section to look for Eric and I.  I was explaining to Owen that I would like two outfits that we can “coordinate” with.

Owen caught on right away and was eager for us to be “boy” and “girl” pirates, “boy” and “girl” vampires.  Owen got so excited when he saw a costume of a traditional “Native American”

Owen.  Oh Mama look!  You could be Sacajawea!

Mama:  That could work.

Owen:   Hmm, but what would Daddy be?

Mama:  Well, I guess he could be Clark.

Owen: (furrowed eyebrows) Clark Kent?

Mama: (Laughing)  Owen!   Is that the first “Clark” you think of when you think of Sacajawea?  (I am wondering if a “Lewis and Clark” reference is a bit of a stretch to expect Owen to remember.)

Owen:  Oh, oh, oh, I know who you mean!  Um… you mean…what’s his name… William!

Now it is my turn to hesitate.  I expecting Owen to say “Lewis” or  “Clark from Lewis and Clark”.  But Owen was one step ahead of me - Meriwether Lewis and William Clark!
