It's official, my child is a genius!!

So today Anthony and I are sitting at the kitchen table. I am looking through his blue folder from school that has his material that goes back and forth. Included in his folder is the Scholastic book order form. Do you remember those? I LOVED these when I was a child, loved the book fairs, and the smell of all the books in the room waiting to be bought. Anyways, Anthony picks it up and points to a book.

"Mom, do you know this guy?"
"I do, do you know his name? It is Martin Luther King Jr." Assuming he doesn't know.
"I know mom, Mrs. Quibell has the book. People didn't like him and were really mean to him. They didn't like what he said and they killed him."

Woah! Threw (or through?) me for a loop. At first I was a little confused why it is necessary for a four year old to learn this. But it is, it is our history. By the time Anthony grows up and is my age there might even have been another black president, a female president, a black female president. Not only was I proud of him but also his teacher. She is awesome! The kids love her and I am very grateful for all of the knowledge she is sharing with my absorbent four year old.

So I told Anthony he could pick out two books.
"I know the one I really want, it is so cool." My heart is so proud because I know it is about Martin Luther King Jr.

Nope-Power Rangers Mystic Force and Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! The Wubb Clubb

"Mom, can you believe it? That's so cool!"
It sure is cool...what do you do?

By the way, kudos to Bonnie for becoming my new referral machine. Bonnie, if you ever need a job....:)
