(Yes, it's a re-post from the pre-delete era. I am currently eating any chip I can lay my hands on and hoping that this roller coaster is on the upswing. This was the pre-Obama period. You'll get the picture...)
Mrs. Smythe: Boys and girls, we are going to talk about Presidents, because in a few days we will have a NEW president. (Thank goodness...) What do you know about the president??
Nate: We have had free (3) presidents. The first president was George Washingston. Then the second president was Habraham Lincoln. I fink Habrahan Lincoln was George Washinston’s son.
Kris: My mom went to George Washington’s house.
Nate: George Washinston cut down a cherry or an apple tree.
Kyle: Then Abraham Lincoln got mad at him-which started a war. I also know about President Bushel!
Nate: Yeah, they got in a war because of the cherry tree. And Habraham shot George Washingston.
Nick: The president’s name is not George Bushel, it’s George Washington D.C!!!
Catie: But now the war is about oil.
Annie: I met Abraham Lincoln where my dad’s parents live – in Oregon.
Nate: Are you sure that was the real Habrahan, or was it just a man dressed up??
Anie: He was real.
Mrs. Smythe: Wait, now, boys and girls, what exactly does the president do??
Nick: He keeps us safe from dying.
Ryan: I know, I know!! He protects us from the whitecoats. He also protects us from littering.
Theo: He rules the world, I fink.
So, there we have it. All you wanted to know about the Presidents, and what exactly the president does. (I’m glad that’s all cleared up.)
Whew, I’m disausted. Just trying to follow their train of thought WEARS me out.

LOL!!!!
Well, that CERTAINLY does clear it all up.
I think I need a drink now....'cause I'm disausted....
It's amazing what kids get right and even more amazing what they get WRONG!
I must say tho, I find that portrait of Washington seriously disturbing....course I could say that about a few other presidents come to think of it! :)
Personally, I fink all pwesidents are poopy.
:)
My 6 year old, currently in Kindergarten, told me that he learned about George Washington and he was the number one president. Charlie also learned that President number 16 had a hat!
Oh there was a little boy in my life, some years ago .. who would tell me at the end of the day, that he was " disausted" ..
I fink you must have a great day every day with these little people in your world. . much better than big people :)
I remember this post! Because it was, and still is, freakin' hilarious!
Kids are so funny. Mostly when they're serious. Enjoyed this very much.
That is friggin' hilarious!
>Elizabeth-- your 6 yr old was absolutely correct! #16 was Lincoln and he was definitely fond of wearing a stovepipe hat!! When he wore that hat, his overall height was about 6'7"!!
Made him pretty memorable at a time when most men were in the 5'6" -- 5'8" range!!!

Oops! Did that one under the wrong account.
I don't have a president, I have a prime minister. I could send him to you and you could study him for as long as you like.
I love you vodkamom
When my son was in kindergarten and his teacher asked who the president was, one boy said he was "President Clinton and was in trouble for having sex with Monica Lewsky"
Crickets!
