Let's Work On Our Vocabulary, Shall We?

Last night, NBC was showing "National Treasure 2", one of my favorite movies.  I decided to watch it, while Jack was getting ready for bed.  He comes in right at the beginning and says, "Is this appropriate for kids?"  I said, "It should be okay."  He keeps watching and says, "I don't think this is appropriate for kids."  Then it is the scene in the theatre with Abraham Lincoln.  I asked him if he knew who he was.  "Abraham Lincoln," he replies.  I asked him if he knew who Lincoln was (expecting him to say a President).  He said, "Lincoln and Martin Luther King both were laminated."

In bad taste but definitely funny.  Yes, I corrected him and said "assassinated" and then we talked about what good men they were and how they contributed to society.
