Gaius Julius Caesar
As a parent who is always proud of my children’s successes, their best efforts despite failure and the ability to laugh at a moments notice, I have to say that I was particularly impressed this afternoon. I was reading my new copy The Dangerous Book for Boys (more on that in another post) when I turned to a page with a picture of Gaius Julius Caesar. I had been showing my children page after page of all the cool things in this book. I asked my seven-year-old daughter who she thought the person in the picture might be. She nonchalantly replied that it was Julius Caesar. Now, I don’t know about you and maybe I don’t get out enough, but I sure didn’t know who Julius Caesar was when I was in 2nd grade. Another proud moment for a parent.
