Is this from the 1830's?
A typical moment in this household...
As I'm typing the last post, Caleigh comes downstairs into my office. Unbeknownst to me, she wanders over to the wall-o-books and picks up an 18th century naval dirk (restored) and comes up behind me.
She asks: "can I play with this Daddy?"
I saw what she had and said "uuuhhhhhh....NO!" and explained why.
Then she wanted to know what exactly a dirk was. Was it a sword?
In her little hands, it did look like a sword.
I told her that it was very old, hundreds of years.
She said "Oh, it is from the 1830's or something?"
I said no, that it was from the 1700's.
Her response was simple: "Oh, that's cool".
She put it back, briefly looked at the other one, and then distracted herself with a brochure from Storyland, an amusement park in the Lakes Region.
