Whenever my children teach me something, it makes us so happy. They, for teaching their dad. Me, for learning something from such a special little person. It’s just the best.

This is my favorite part of my day. Yesterday we were just having dinner talking about god knows what when my 9 year old drops something into convo about The Homestead Act and how many acres you could by and how they had to be developed and all these bullet points about it I haven't retained when I may have read about it so many years ago. It was delightful.

Now, there was also the part about her thinking the Mexican–American War was in 1989. Which is Taylor Swift's birthday, her favorite artist. Which is hilarious on so many levels.

there was a president that thought we had airplanes during the revolutionary war, so hopefully the date mix up wasn't judged too harshly

So that's what The Great War is about!

I have learned that to most kids anything before 2000 is basically ancient history that all blends together.

My godson once solemnly asked his dad "Were dinosaurs before or after steam engines?" which is obviously adorable.
