I think I may have talked my way through history classes or made-out with boys or some other misbehavior because I am rather remedial when it comes to historical trivia. My husband, on the other hand, holds this as one of his great strengths so he enjoys seeing how much I don't know on a continual basis. Since Lily is a history buff, I am always looking up questions for her on the internet. One of the ideas I had for a crash course in significant events was to use Billy Joel's
song "We Didn't Start The Fire" as a study outline of sorts. Lily liked that idea and found this awesome video on the web.
