During a discussion of the First Inauguration.
Me: It took 14 days for George Washington to travel from Virginia to New York. Today we could do that in a few hours by taking a plane. What do you think he used to travel?
M: A car?
Me: No. The car hadn't been invented yet.
M: Had they invented pants?
Me: Uh...yes.
M: Oh. So he was wearing pants then?
Me: I guess so.
M: Okay. That's good to hear.

lol! M sure has a good sense of humor. :)
that is good to hear. i'm glad he's thinking of the important stuff. it reminds me of ramona quimby asking her teacher how mike mulligan went to the bathroom when he was stuck in the hole.
:)
When we read that book together, M kept driving me crazy about that!
:D
just a thought - when you said that cars hadn't been invented yet, maybe his mind went back to Bible times, before pants were invented. maybe he was trying to make a mental timeline to put it in perspective (like "maybe george washington rode a camel like the wise men")
...without pants. ;) (hehe, sorry:)
Maybe that was it, but I'm not sure where he was coming from. We are making a time-line on the wall this year, so I guess we will have to add the invention of pants to it:)
i was trying to grasp the thought process of an intelligent 6-year-old
kids say the darnedest things :)
