Apparently our trip to Mt. Rushmore this summer really had an impact on the kids. The following conversations took place in our house this week.
#1)
Ryker: OK, let’s play. I’ll be George Washington.
Cainan: No, I want to be George Washington.
R: Well, I called it first!
C: Fine! Then I’ll be Teddy Roosevelt.
R: Here's your moustache. (places imaginary moustache on Cainan’s upper lip).
#2)
Ryker: What’s the guy’s name that shot Abraham Lincoln?
Mom: John Wilkes Booth.
R: Is that the same guy that shot Martin Luther King Jr.?
M: No.
R: Who shot MLK Jr.?
M: Ummmmm. I can’t remember. John Henkley Jr.? No, that was that guy that shot Reagan. I don’t know.
R: I guess I’ll have to ask Daddy. He’ll know. Maybe it was the same guy.
M: No, it couldn’t be the same guy. MLK Jr. was shot in like 1967 and Abraham Lincoln was shot 100 years before that.
Cainan: Yep. Then they stuffed him in those rocks.
