A basket of books on the Civil War caught the eye of a passing 4th grader. He looked at the top book, A Picture Book of Robert E. Lee, with its cover picture of Lee as a boy pretending to be a soldier. He looked at me with a air of discovery - "He pretended to be in a war when he was a kid" He put his hand on the shelf next to me and walked his fingers across it. "And when he grew up he was in a war."
I said, "So I guess you should be careful what you pretend to be."
He grinned and said as he walked away "Oh don't worry about me. I don't do any of that stuff. I just play video games in my basement all the time."
