Little Girl Keeps Calling Columbus' Third Ship "Diarrhea"

Memorizing history can be hard. Sometimes it takes a little poem or a mnemonic device. For this little girl it's the poem about Christopher Columbus' "discovery" of the Americas. She actually gets a lot of it right as her sister reads call and response questions to her. However, when it comes to naming the ships that Columbus sailed on, things get a bit trickier. At first, she calls them the Pinto, Diarrhea and the Santaria. Considering the time period, we're sure there were a few stomach problems on those ships. Eventually she gets Nina and Pinto but still calls the Santa Maria the Diarrhea. She'll get there.
