[Today we are baking bread. It’s a recipe from Mrs. Hoffman's cook book. While on a break, Addie and Maeve are eating lunch and talking about why we have a day off tomorrow. Professor Addie wishes to share this history lesson with all the blog readers.]
ADDIE: Hey, guys, do you want to hear something? There was a president in the olden days who invented books, fire and flippers. Well, guys, I don’t remember his name though. They were first, I mean the flippers, they were made of wood. And then they were made of rubber because he didn't like how they were once.
MAEVE: Did he invent remotes too?
A: No. [Shakes head incredulously at such a ridiculous notion.] That’s all that he invented. He was cool.
M: Is it the guy on daddy’s shirt?
A: No.
D: Who is the guy on my shirt? Does anyone know?
M: Michael Jackson?
D: Ooh, so close. It’s William Shakespeare.
A: [Unimpressed, back to the matter that hand.] And what’s really cool is that once my teacher went to see a statue of that boy. Of the president. He was sitting down and he had hair things on the sides of his head like here and here.
D: Was it George Washington?
A: YES IT WAS!
D: Anything else you want to say?
M: HAPPY PRESIDENTS' DAY!
A: HAPPY PRESIDENTS' DAY!
