LUCY: “Mama. You remember that book we read? With the boat?”
ME: “The Magic Treehouse book? About the Vikings?”
LUCY: “No not the Vikings. The one with the people in the boat. They rowed. In a river. With the man who told them what to do. With the war.”
ME: “Ohhhh. Revolutionary War on Wednesday.”
LUCY (holding up a nickel): “Yes! Look Mama. This looks like that man. George Washington.”
Good eye, Lucy. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington. They’re practically twins. As, of course, any twin would figure out.
