Are we doing permanent damage?

I've been teaching my 5-yr old daughter about money. First was pennies, then dimes. Yesterday, we moved on to nickels, which of course bear the image of our third President, Thomas Jefferson.

But when I showed the nickel to my daughter, she surprised me with this comment: "Mama, is that William Wallace on the nickel?"

I blame my husband and his infamous Braveheart monologues.

But now that she mentions it, I do see a resemblance:




For those concerned, don't worry - we haven't actually allowed the kids to watch the movie, only the freedom speech.
