On the drive home from school today:
Brooke: Mom, I wish I could be just like George Washington.
Me (after chuckling in the front seat: You do? Why?
Brooke: Well you know what George Washington did.
Me: Please tell me what he did Brooke.
Brooke: He helps people WASH their hands. That's why he is George Washington.
Me: Wow I did not know that! How great!
Brooke: Yes, so if you got paint on your hands, George Washington will help you by washing them for you. That is why I need to be like him.
I would guess her teacher would not be pleased that other than knowing George Washington's name, that's about all she got out of the President's Day lesson today.
Hilarious!
ReplyDeletehahahaha! I can just hear her telling you this story in her little voice : )
ReplyDeleteShe sounds very convinced!
ReplyDeleteKind of like the "turkey hat" that Ellie made at school for Thanksgiving! I don't think she grasped the whole Indians and Pilgrims thing.
