Building a Log Cabin

H came home from preschool yesterday with this great log cabin replica, made out of pretzel sticks, of course. He asked me who made the real log cabin. Knowing they had talked about Presidents' Day in class, I said, "Abraham Lincoln, the guy who's on the penny." He said, "No, I think it was Lettuce."

I tried desperately to think of anything to do with Presidents' Day that would sound remotely like lettuce. Obviously coming up empty, I said, "I think it was Abraham Lincoln, bud." H said, "But we learned a song about it. 'Let us build a cabin...' "

:) :)

I love how his mind works! How many songs do we have the lyrics still kind of messed up because we learned them before we could read? My favorite is Uncle Mark and "little purple panties touched with yellow gold . . ." (why shouldn't we teach a song about purple and gold panties in primary?)

Awesome! I'm still giggling! You know we all take foreign language some time in our life but the one we probably need the most is Toddler Lingo 101!
