I'll have to verify that....

"Did you know that "y" sometimes likes to say "i"? This is how our Thursday night dinner conversation started with Chase, as we were asking the kids about school and what they learned. (They have been learning about the letter Y). Then he said "Oh and theirs some kid Mrs. Benson told us about, he's not in my class but his birthday is on the 17th". Matt followed up with "Do you mean Martin Luther King Jr.?" Chase-"Yeah that's the guy!" Of course we were laughing...."Oh he's not in your class huh?". So then Matt said "Do you know who he is?". Chase-"No". So then Matt proceeded to explain to a 5 year old that he was a civil rights leader and was asking Chase if he knew what an African American was, explaining that it was a person with black skin. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!!!....Mrs. Benson did not tell us that!, I'm not sure that's right Dad I will have to check with Mrs. Benson." There was no convincing him that we knew what we were talking about. Ahhh kids! When did we become an unreliable source that our 5 year old needs to check with his Kindergarten teacher?
