Christopher Columbus ... The Real Story

I love hearing about my little Diva's school day on the ride back to the house.  In the approximately five minute drive, one can gain some real insight into the workings of a six-year-old mind.  From what was served in the cafeteria, who got in trouble on the playground or what she learned that day ... never a dull moment with Diva around.  In honor of the upcoming Columbus Day, Diva's class had been studying the story that has been taught for many years, that we all know so well.  Although, her version of the story was slightly different from what I learned a few years back.

Per Diva:
Christopher Columbus was trying to get to Indiana - the one where they have dots on their heads.  He ended up in Cuba instead.  The pinto boat sank, but that was okay because there were two more.

No wonder we can't pass a standardized test in this state!
