So you would think we would get the day off to celebrate the man who helped find America...but alas...we did not. So at school that day, we were talking about ole Chris Columbus himself. I didn't have a single kindergartener who had heard of him. Here's how a part of our talk went.
Miss Cook: Did you guys know a guy named Christopher Columbus helped discover America? It was in 1492.
Kid: Miss Cook, were you alive then??
Miss Cook: No, that would mean I was 518 years old honey...Do I look that old?
Kid: No, you would be all crinkly and have to get your kidney stones out like my grandpa if you were that old.
