Tristan came up to me with a wrinkled dollar bill. He held it in two hands and stared at the man in the medallion in the middle.
Finally, he asked, "Who is this man on the dollar?"
I said, "That's George Washington."
He asked, "Was he our first president?"
"Yes, he was."
His lip turned down in a sad face and he continued to stare at the picture.
"Why are you sad," I asked.
"Because he died. I really miss him."
AWWWWWWWWWWWW....gotta love Tristan!
ReplyDeleteDawwwwww. :]
ReplyDeleteI miss him too. And (wierdly) Coolidge.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to ask... why Coolidge?
ReplyDeleteI burst out laughing at this...was I wrong...because I've missed George too, but it was because there weren't enought of those little pieces of paper with his portrait around. :)
