Today’s adventures in third grade… My readers have been learning about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington because of Presidents’ Day a few weeks ago. Today my small reading group was doing a compare and contrast activity about these two famous men. The kids were shocked and saddened when I told them how Abraham Lincoln died. One of them then asked how George Washington died.
Me: I’m not sure how he died. I know he only lived a few years after his second term ended. I think he got some sort of infection.
One of my 3rd grade boys: He probably died because he was so tall! (We had just read that George Washington was 6 foot 2).
Me: How could he die from being tall?
3rd grade boy (Dead serious and highly concerned): He probably couldn’t bend that far down to clean his feet and got a bad toenail fungus. Those can be deadly.
(Rest of 3rd graders nodding sadly at this obviously plausible possibility.)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You just can’t make this stuff up!

True and funny stories from the lighter side of raising my sons and daughter. As the Southern mama of this crew, I'm usually somewhere between "Bless your hearts!" and "Y'all act like you got some sense!" If we ever need to find our way home, we just follow the trail of red clay and glitter.
