History told by my children

Dialogue between Lilly and Grace in the car this afternoon:

Lilly: “Grace, you have to play with everyone. You can’t be mean, you have to be loving”

Grace: “Why?”

Lilly: “Because Dr. Martin Luther King Junior wants us to be kind. He is dead though. Some one shot him.”

Grace: “Why did they shoot him?”

Lilly: “Because they were scared of him. If we are nice to each other then we will be helping his dream come true.”

——–Fast forward 30 mins——–

*Grace received a card from her school about their 75th Anniversary party*

Lilly: “Mom, Grace isn’t sharing her card with me.”

Grace: “It’s my card!”

Me: “Grace, what do you think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would do?”

Grace: “Well, he’s DEAD!”

Oy vey.

Now for your viewing pleasure, a preview from our trip to Santa Barbara with my parents:

Grace. What three year old do you know that can do the monkey bars, sound out CVC words, recognize all of her letters from zero to ten, and finish off two hot dogs like no body’s business? GRACE! That’s who. Love her.
