Happy Presidents' Day, Y'all.

I was sitting on the train yesterday when I overheard a very funny conversation. It took place between a mother and her son, and I was only hearing the mother's side. This is what I heard.

"Do you know what tomorrow is?"
----
"Yes, it's Presidents' Day. That's why you don't have school."
----
"No, you don't have school, which I think is stupid."
----
"Do you know which presidential birthday it was originally celebrated on?"
----
"No, it's not Martin Luther King, Jr. If it were his birthday I would think you should have it off since he was important. But it was Washington's birthday, which is dumb because Washington never did anything for this country."

I swear, she was 100% serious.
