School is back in full swing after the holidays. Back packs of homework, testing guides and report cards. Eli is our school reporter of lunch menus, recess going ons and monitor of those who got in trouble.....once in awhile we get actual conversations about the school work.
Lucas is another type of reporter. He's more of the investigative reporter that takes weeks to gather his story and then he will dump the entire story on you at one time. Tonight it was about the American Civil War, the topic that has caught his attention.
It took us a little while to figure out what he was so excited about, he was talking 90 mph and non stop. Finally, he turned to me and said, "You had a war here? In America? Right here? I can't believe it!" Then to top it ALL off he asks me, "Were you alive then, did you see it?" Wow! No, no I was not, thanks son for the age reality check. Think I will call his teacher and ask if maybe they could revisit the time line and establish a better understanding of how many years have passed since that particular war occurred.
