I told the kids this morning that they don't have school on Monday for Martin Luther King Day. A little while later, Luke came in the office and wanted to tell me what he had learned about MLK at school. He asked where MLK was born, so we looked it up on Wikipedia (he was born in Atlanta). (He also wanted to know if MLK was older or younger than God, but that wasn't on Wikipedia. But he was born in 1929. :)
Luke saw that his name was listed as "Martin Luther King, Jr." and he was trying to read the words. He got to the "Jr." part, and said "J - R". I explained that it was an abbreviation for Junior.
Me: That's Martin Luther King Junior, because he was named after his dad, Martin Luther King. Like, if you were named after your Dad, you'd be Cass Watson Everitt Junior.
Luke: And if Logan was named after you, she'd be Cindy Watson Everitt Junior.
Me: Right. :) :)
