A Bit of Revisionist History

Another gem shared by a colleague... wherein a 4th grader learned that the solo explorer "Lewisan Clark" was, in reality two people....

"Mr. A., who was Lewisan Clark?"

"You should say, "who were Lewis and Clark."

"No, Lewisan Clark. Who was he?"

"It's Lewis and Clark. Two people: Lewis. and Clark. Those are their last names."

"Oh-hhhh!"
