Ode to Abraham Lincoln


So, Rainier and his craziness strike again. Last week his class learned about Abe Lincoln, and our family was subjected to Abe Lincoln talk for an entire week. And by Abe Lincoln talk.......I mean Rainier style, Abe Lincoln talk.

I picked Rainier and Addie up from school on Friday and Rainier told me, "Mom, Abraham Lincoln is the #1 president". Addie couldn't keep her mouth shut on that one so she said, "Actually he was the number 16 president. George Washington was the #1 president". Rainier was NOT happy about this and informed us that Abe Lincoln was HIS #1 president and that he hated George Washington.

Sunday rolls around and the kids went to my parents for dinner. Rainier said the prayer asked that they would all grow healthy and strong like Abe Lincoln. No biggie, just kinda cute right?

Fast forward to Monday. Rainier is in HUGE trouble for trying to get out Gavin's BB gun. He has been banished to his room indefinitely with no toys. He comes into my room holding The Book of Mormon and says, "Mom. You need to read your scriptures. Jesus is NOT happy with you today..............and either is Abe Lincoln."

Oh my. This boy is something else. My life will never be dull with that kid around!

love when they pull out the "big guns" (pun intended)

seriously- good thing you are writing this stuff- because you always think you will never forget the stuff they say- but you do.
