OK, I’ve told this story before but it’s relevant to this thread:

When S was 4, President Nixon died. On the day of his funeral, I decided it was appropriate to hang out our American flag, out of respect for the Office of the President. As we backed out of the driveway to head to preschool, S asked why the flag was out.

“A former President died, and his funeral is today.”

“The President died?” Panicked look on 4 year old face.

“No, honey, President Clinton is fine. The man who died was president back when Mommy was a little girl.”

Relieved voice, “Oh. You mean George Washington.”
