Martin Luther King Jr.

This morning, as we were all chillin' in our pajamas, LLG asked if he had to go to school.  He "didn't feel like it". 

I told him it was Sunday.

Never one to give up on such a pressing topic, he continued with his inquisition.  "Do I have to go tomorrow?"

"No.  It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day".

Smiles.  Then silence.

"You know that guy Mom, who shot him?"

"Yeesss."

"Well, if you don't like someone, you don't have to shoot them."


Isn't that the truth.  If only all hearts could be as good as the hearts of children.
