Out with the old.

Charlie told me today that he couldn't wear his cowboy boots to preschool because he couldn't sit criss-cross-applesauce when he had them on, so he wore tennis shoes instead.

What do you/did you say? When I was a kid, we called it sitting "Indian style."

According to Roxanne in her education classes it is not politically correct to say"indian style" anymore so criss-cross applesauce it is... She did a big presentation on all of that you will have to ask her about it at Christmas.

When I was little... a million years ago probably before the Indians even existed..... we called it "indian style". But when I was an EA in the kindergarten classes in Albuquerque, we always called it criss-cross-applesauce. I bet Roxanne was right about why it changed.
