Happy President's Day!

Today is President's Day. We got home from a Costco run and playing at the park and I asked Evan to get the mail with me. Halfway to the mailbox (which is halfway down our driveway!) I remembered it was a holiday. I told Evan there was no mail today and we went in the house. Here is our conversation:

Evan: How come there is no mail?

Momma: Because today is a holiday. On holidays, some people don't work. So we didn't get mail.

Evan: What is a holiday?

Momma's thinking: How am I going to explain what this holiday is about?!

Momma: Today is President's Day. It is a time for us to honor the Presidents of our country. (No joke, I totally said this to my 2 year old.)

Evan: I want presents!!!

Momma: Not presents! Presidents!
