Hanna: Daddy, will you tell me a bedtime story?
David: No, it's too late. Go to sleep.
Hanna: Please? Just a short one?
David: Fine. Once upon a time there was a dictator named Napoleon Bonaparte. He was a very mean man and took over a lot of land. Then the British came and defeated him and put him in jail.
Hanna: So the British are mean to the people they don't like and nice to the people they do like? Like they'll kick you in the legs and stuff?
David: Absolutely.
Hanna: And they always win?
David: Most of the time.
Hanna: And what else?
David: That's it. That's the end.
Hanna: Okay, thanks Daddy. Goodnight.
The moral of this story? Think twice before asking your history loving Daddy for a nice bedtime story. You just might get a bed time story/history lesson all rolled into one.
