History

Aden has been reading a lot about Presidents lately. Somehow
conversation at dinner last night turned into a history lesson
starting with George Washington and the Revolutionary War, on to the
Civil War, statehood and presidential elections. The Gulf War came up
somewhere along the line and I used Saddam Hussein as an example of a
dictator that opposed democracy. Aden was interested in all if this
and kept asking questions, and Adalin definitely thinks naughty
dictators should go to jail.

So tonight Aden is getting ready for bed and asks me, "Dad, what was
that guys name from Iraq? Was it Saddam Ha-sein or Saddam Hu-sein?"

I replied, "Hu."

Aden shot back, "That guy from Iraq that we talked about last night."
