General, Kid Quotes
April 19, 2012
Spaceman Bulldog
Every school has their version of it: for Bulldog’s class of 2022, it’s Biography Day. In two weeks all the eight year olds will dress up as their “person” and the parents will walk around the gym “talking” to Einstein, Elvis, Eisenhower, and Armstrong.
Neil Armstrong: that’s who Bulldog gets to be. And what was his response to being assigned to read and learn the biography of the first man (and, ahem, a native Ohioan) to walk on the moon? “I am so glad. I really wanted to be somebody who did something, not just a president.”
What cute thing did your kid say this week?
