No, it couldn't have been Abraham Lincoln. He was later.
Mommy! you're wrong, it was Abraham Lincoln.
No, I'm sure he wasn't president yet. That was long before him.
Well, I think you're wrong, but if you're right - it was James Madison.
Oh-kay - go look it up.

Guess who turned out to be president? James Madison.

Today is Lincoln's birthday by the way. Happy Birthday, President Lincoln!

Today is also Bear's birthday party. I'll be breaking out the Vicodin at about 1:30. (Just kidding - I really won't take any Vicodin, just a couple of shots of Jagermeister to keep from losing my mind in the midst of 500 yelling kids.)|||110822475296575310|||James Madison is the winner!
