you can't buy this stuff

It's difficult to teach children about the past because the concept is abstract and strange. Witness the following:

"Can we call George Washington on the phone?" asks the teacher.
"No," replies the Kindergarten class.
"Why can't we call him?"
"Cause he's busy, he got stuff to do," calls out a child.


Sometimes I can't believe I get paid to witness the growth of children. It's precious. And when the above happened I almost fell off my chair laughing.
