Lillian's question of the day: C (my son who is in high school) was asked in school yesterday what he thought Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation meant. So today's question then is who is Abraham Lincoln and what is the Emancipation Proclamation?
This should be interesting...
Lillian's response: "He is a president. He was special because he does good things. Emancipation proclamation... What's that? (help from E - her sister) he ended being slavery. He was being good to other people but some of the people didnt like him but some people did like him."
I don't know about you, but I would never have guessed that Lillian's 6-year-old sister would know about the Emancipation Proclamation, but I was shocked that a 4-year-old would even know who Abraham Lincoln was. I'm sure I was just trying to decipher the difference between Big Bird and Cookie Monster at that age. :)
