the Liberty Bell
T and I were working on thank you notes. He was writing, and I slapped a stamp on an envelope sitting next to him. T looked at it and proclaimed, "The Liberty Bell!" And then he added, "It has a big crack in it."Seeing as how my degrees are American history related, I was proud he had learned something historical from somewhere and retained it. So I asked him, "Where did you learn about the Liberty Bell?"
T responded, "At school. We were learning about Mount Rushmore. We learned about Abraham Lincoln and the Liberty Bell." I could not get him to clarify how Lincoln was related to the Liberty Bell, but he was certain the two were connected. I suggested that he might have been thinking about Thomas Jefferson (also on Mt. Rushmore), but he insisted that it was Lincoln. Oh well. So much for that version of history!
