Hey, Did You Hear?
The other day Dude came home and said, "Hey, mom, did you know that Abraham Lincoln died?" Inside I was dying of hysterical laughter thinking, "Oh my gosh, alert the media!" I managed to reply that I did know, but tell me all about it. That I night I began thinking about all the things that grown-ups take for granted. Kids are discovering their world for the first time. I'm so grateful that I get to watch them learn and discover, and be reminded of the little things that I don't take the time to think about. I also think that it is hysterical that Princess loves to talk about King Martin Luther. (All attempts to correct the name are denied) He was such a wonderful king that helped people remember to love each other. I'll make sure to let everyone know if I hear about any other wonderful famous people passing away. :)

OH MY GOSH!!! When did Abe Lincoln died? that is very tragic...
I can totally feel for Dude on this one! When I started 2nd grade I was so excited - because we were going to be learning ENGLISH!! There were books and everything. I clearly remember the look on my mother's face and the laughter when I told her how excited I was. It was too funny.
Abe is dead?????
I didn't know Abe was sick. Gotta love that King Luther
