Aberham Lincoln




While eating lunch after Lulu's school: Mom, we learned about Aberham Lincoln today (she calls Abram Aber as well).

Me: Tell me about Abraham Lincoln.

Lulu: OK, but this is scary mom (she pauses for effect), he got shocked.

Me: He was shot?

Lulu: He got (eyes widen) shocked!

Me: Oh. Who shocked him?

Lulu: I don't know, who?

Me: John Wilkes Booth.

Lulu: (looks off into space contemplating murder by electrocution)

Lulu: This next part is dirty mom.

Me: OK.

Lulu: His floor was (pauses for drama) made of dirt! And he peed outside!



Oh, the breathtaking results of Challenger.
