When our youngest daughter (now 27) was in 1st or 2nd grade, as presidents day was approaching, they were studying about Lincoln and Washington. The previous summer we had been to Washington, D.C. to Ford's Theater where Lincoln was shot, so some of the history was fresh in her mind and she was really into all that they were learning. I didn't realize how confusing it must be to the young ones learning about 2 such prominent historical figures at the same time until, One day as we were driving in the car, she turned to me and asked, "Mommy, how old were you when Abraham Washington was shot?"
Wasn't sure which was funnier....her mixing the names together or the fact that I had done such a good job of telling her about the happenings of Lincolns assassination, that she thought I was alive when it happened!! :roll: :oops: :lol:
