Questionable Curriculum

Today Matilda was telling me how they have been talking about the holidays at school this week. She went on to explain how she learned about Hanukkah yesterday. She described how with Hanukkah you have to light lots of candles, which is really nice because then Santa can see really well to put all the presents out. While there is more than room for someone to be offended by this twisted view, I am certain this was not the explanation she received. I love the crazy logic she comes up with, bending things to fit her memory and experience. I just worry about the safety of leaving candles burning all night.
