As Jack and I were coming home from school today he started quizzing me about Martin Luther King, Jr. I was so excited to have a grown-up conversation with him.
Jack: "Was I alive when he was alive?"
Momma: "Nope. I wasn't alive then either."
J: "Yeah, I wasn't alive and you weren't. And not Daddy, not Ryker, not energy bar....Would that be a big meal?"
M: "Huh?"
J: "Energy bar, waffle and orange juice."
I thought it was funny in a childish sort of way that he couldn't stay focused on the topic, until I realized that most of my conversations veer off the intended path and onto a more chocolaty one.

Jamie,
Were the pilgrims alive when MLK was alive?
Was there chocolate cake at the first Thanksgiving?
Ms. Kay
p.s. loving the blog- so happy I can keep up to date. keep posting.
Glad to see the A.D.D. is staying in the family. Love to pass on "traditions". :)
Well, according to Jack's timeline, MLK came first and then the Pilgrims, since they were the prior owners of our house. And they "made great friends with the Indians" so I guess if the Indians liked chocolate cake, then yes, they would have served it. Because they were friends. (Loving the new school but missing your liberalness.)
