We have been letting Lincoln watch the HBO series "Band of Brothers"(whether we should or not). He really likes it. A few days ago, he was watching it. Taking it as a time to teach the kids something, I told Lincoln that the generation that fought in World War II was old and most were already dead. I told him that they had saved the world. Lincoln told me he knew that; and they had saved the world from the Germans. To teach him even more, I asked him if he knew that "Volk" is German?". Jefferson was also in the room, and as serious as he could, turned to me and said, "No, Mom. We're Americans." Jefferson, you're right. We are Americans. I still need to teach them that we don't need to hate the Germans anymore!!!
