OK, this one impressed even me, who is used to things that come out of Ellen's (my 6 year old) mouth.

E: we don't have school tomorrow.
P: Why is that?
E: it's President's day!
P: what's that about?
E: it's the president's birthdays
P: which ones?
E: george washington and abraham lincoln
P: Very good. what did they do?
E: Washington was our first president.
P: Right. And what did Lincoln do?
E: I dunno
P: well, he was president during the civil war, when the north part of the country fought against the south part of the country because the south wanted to keep black people as slaves and take away their freedom. Lincoln helped the black people gain their freedom.
E: (thinks for a minute). Like Martin Luther King!
P: (sits dumbfounded)...Um...right! exactly.

I kid you not. 6 years old.
