Papo's Hair

El Cabello de Papo

Last weekend we visited Katy's cousin, Elijah, as well her grandparents, Grandma and Papo.  For reference, Elijah is four years old, and Papo has white hair.  During our visit, I was walking Katy and Elijah to Papo's house when I noticed lots of white, fluffy pollen floating in the air.

La semana pasada, visitamos Elijah, el primo de Katy, y sus abuelos, Grandma y Papo.  Elijah tiene cautro anos, y Papo tiene cabello blanco.  Durante la visita, estaba caminando con Katy y Elijah cuando vi mucho polen blanco y mullidito flotando en el aire. 

Me: "What's all that white stuff floating in the air?"
(long pause as the kids think)
A very serious Elijah: "I think it's Papo's hair."
Me, trying not to laugh: "Why do you think it's Papo's hair?"
Elijah: "Because Papo has white hair."
Me: "But why is Papo's hair floating around outside?"
Elijah, still very serious: "I think he was cutting the grass and it blew off."

Yo: "Que son las cosas blancas flotando en el aire?"
(silencio)
Elijah, muy serio: "Es el cabello de Papo."
Yo, tratando a no reir: "Por qué piensas que el cabello de Papo esta flotando en el aire?"
Elijah: "Porque Papo tiene cabello blanco."
Yo: "Pero, por qué está flotando en el aire?"
Elijah, todavía muy serio: "Creo que Papo estaba cortando el césped y el aire lo sopló."  

The boy was dead serious, and it was hilarious. 

Elijah era muy serio, y era muy gracioso.
