Who was the first President?
George Washington.
Who was the sixteenth President?
Abraham Lincoln.
Who is the current President?
Obama.
Who said the British are coming?
The British are coming!
Who said that?

So, Carlos and I decided to test our own children. (I haven’t taught them one damn historical thing…but you can bet I’m going to start.)
Where do you live?
The living room.
Who was the first President?
