Just be friends

Kinson and my conversation this morning over breakfast:

K: "Mama, what day is it today?" (he asks us this every morning)

Me: "Today is Monday"

K: "Are we not going to school today?"

Me: "Not this Monday. We are staying home."

K: "Why?"

Me: " Today is Martin Luther King Day.  Do you know who that is?"

K: "Yes.  Dr. Luther King had a dream.  He had a dream we would all be friends."

I couldn't have been more proud of that little boy.  It amazes me what he learns and remember but it also reminds me of how moldable and plyable their young minds are.  I hope he retains this virtue of acceptance towards everyone.
