Tuckerby and Danner are studying British history. Tuck has learned about King Henry all the way up to Queen Elizabeth, who we are studying now. In order to do this we have had to discuss monarchies and how when you have fanatical monarchs, such as Queen Mary, you can lose religious freedom. A few days ago Tuck overheard me talking to a good friend about how my brother and his family have recently moved to England. (Hi Jason and Amy!) This is not new news to him, but apparently this is the first time he made the connection between his awesome textbook (Our Island Story by H. E. Marshall, go by it, the best ever) and the England that Uncle Jason and Aunt Amy moved to. He seemed incredulous that they would choose to move there. "But Mom," he said, "didn't anyone tell them they aren't free?"

That is pretty funny! :)
Its amazing how kids absorb what we teach them. Jenna trying to decide where she would live once she had kids and was asking me if Germany would be a good place. Kaylee then piped in "just don't choose Africa. If you move to Africa they will but you on a bout, and ship you across the ocean, and make you stand in a line, and someone will pick you, and you'll be a slave FOREVER."
