Leah's Rendition of MLK Day





Monday was Martin Luther King Day.

Leah asked Dave to get doughnuts for breakfast (I know, that is just how we roll around here when we are feeling healthy :))

Mylo saw the flags out on the street and he asked why they were out.  Leah said it was because of the Holiday, Martin Luther King Day.  Dave asked her who that was and what he did.  (side note: We have never talked about this at home, all her info on this subject came from school)

Leah then proceeded to tell Mylo and Dave that "Mr. King helped the white people- like Milli (not like Leah and Mylo or Otis), be nice and play with the brown people and then they were all nice to each other."

She got the jist of it.  What cracked me up is that she said "the white people, like Milli." Baahahahaahahaaaa... I love her!  (and the "white one" too!)

That is so funny!!! Really though, where did she come from? She looks nothing like the others. :)

Awwwwwww poor Milli.
Being white mean sunblock galore man and that always sucks.
I guess it also mean we need to try and get along with brown people.
Lucky we have MLK day so I can be reminded ;)
Love it.

I have been hearing from Adelaide that MLK died when he was 39. She's a little worried because I'm almost there. She's verified my age at least two times this week. Who thought a holiday could be so scare inducing.

HAHAHAHAHA! That is hilarious.

Olivia was here yesterday and she says, your skin is different than mine. I said, It is? Why do you say that because it's brown? And she laughs and says, "Yes!"

Oh. My. Word. I was laughing hard, then I laughed even harder when I saw Mari's comment! Oh the cuteness and honesty of a young child!

Thanks for the great laugh!! I can hardly stop! At least you can say that Leah is learning at school and at home to know both of those adorable things. Milli is the the cutest white girl in your family. lol

That's hilarious! Mili is on the pale side, but she's so dang cute! Leah cracks me up. I was just looking at pictures when GL was born and you and Leah came up. She was just a baby! Man how time flies!
