So you think you know your history huh!
So you think you know your history huh! well let me fill you in on some little known history that I let my daughter (now 10) on when she was in Kindergarten. My daughter came home from school all excited and jumped up in my lap, looked at me with her little blue eyes all sparkling and said "Dad I learned all about George Washington today at school, and that he was the first President of the United States and that he chopped down a cherry tree and told his dad that he couldn't tell a lie", now she was looking all proud of herself so I thought I would have a little fun with her :-). I looked at my daughter and asked if the teacher told her why George Washington chopped down the cherry tree and she said no she hadn't told them, So here is where your History Lesson begins I told my daughter the following..... "Back in George Washingtons day they didn't have much like we do, and they had to wear false teeth when their teeth fell out, but not like our false teeth today, their false teeth were made out of wood", then I grinned to myself and said "George Washington developed a BAD case of termites on his teeth and destroyed them, so he had to go outside to the cherry tree, chop it down and whittle him a new pair of teeth". I was so pleased with myself and the fact that my daughter was so excited about knowing that that I forgot to tell her I was kidding, so next day I get a letter home from her teacher asking me to not do that again because apparently my daughter had went to school the next day and informed her teacher and classmates why George Washington had chopped down the cherry tree. hehe. Needless to say I haven't done that since.
Enjoy the Day
