dream?

Not sure if this was a dream or a daydream, but early this morning I was day/dreaming about some kid asking me incredulously why he should care about history. Instead of going the "Because history shapes the present" route I tried to show him that it was full of interesting stories, and related to him the Punic wars and the fact that this guy actually marched hundreds of elephants thousands of miles to attack another city state. I don't think the kid was entirely convinced.
