John and Gillian were upstairs watching shows. John came downstairs and told Daddy, "Gillian's watching girl shows. I'm boycotting." Daddy said "John do you even know what boycotting is?" John looked at Daddy and said "Yea. Abraham Lincoln boycotted." Daddy questioned John, "Abraham Lincoln? What did he boycott?" John said "He boycotted buses. He wanted people to walk or ride a bike or take the subway. He wanted people to make less pollution."
We think he has mashed together stories about Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Abraham Lincoln. We will teach him the proper stories, but for now we are enjoying his mashup.
