Kids Say the Funniest Things

Chee-Chee and I are studying about the events leading up to the Civil War. When we talked about the Missouri Compromise and why the North and the South both wanted a say in which way the new states would go, Chee-Chee said, "Why didn't the Southern states just divide themselves into smaller states, then they could send more senators to the Congress?"

Sometimes I think we under-estimate the cognitive capability of our little ones.
