we had to go by my mom's after i picked alex up from school (long story for another post). anyway, as we were leaving and walking out to the car, he asked me if i knew who martin luther king jr. was. i told him that i did and that i thought he was a great man. he said he thought so too. then he told me that he wanted to make a card for MLK day. i said, ok. then he said that he wanted to take it to the cemetery. i asked which one. he said where martin luther king junior is. he wants to find his grave and leave the card for him. how sweet is that?
i then had to explain that MLK is not buried here. he said, he's in washington d.c. i said, i knew that. he said that it was part of texas. i had to explain it is up north.
so we have compassion down and need to work on geography... can't win them all!
