I was reading Rip Van Winkle to the kids and they laughed at the name. "Van?" I told them I was pretty sure it meant that the person was of Dutch descent. "Oh." Pause. "You mean like Martin Van Buren?" That was Caroline.
Hooray! She listens!
I don't know for sure that he was of Dutch descent (haven't googled him yet), but I was, again, just happy she listened!
