He's an American

This past weekend, the Brat Child was watching TV with his grandfather.  

They were watching an episode of Star Trek Next Generation, 

which featured a creature from the past or the future 

depending on whether you look at it from your current time period 

or the time period of the show's plot.  

But I digress.

Brat Child: What is that? Is that an Alien?
Midge: It's wearing white does that mean it's a good guy?
Brat Child: It's an American. An American Alien
