This American Life · 605: Kid Logic · 15 Feb 2026 podcast

And we were sitting in there, and right on the table where we happened to plop down,

was the art section of the local newspaper.

And Their Biggest Life was a huge drawing by like a 10-year-old kid in the local schools of Martin Luther King.

And she said, who's that?

And I said, well, as it happens, that's Martin Luther King, and he's why you're not in school today.

So we're celebrating his birthday.

This is the day we celebrate his life.

And she said, so who was he?

I said, well, he was a preacher.

And she looks up at me and goes, for Jesus?

And I said, yeah, yeah, actually he was.

But there was another thing that he was really famous for, which is that he had a message.

And you're trying to say this to a four-year-old.

This is the first time they ever hear anything.

So you're just very careful about how you phrase everything.

So I said, you know, well, yeah, he was a preacher and he had a message.

She said, what was his message?

And I said, well, he said that you should treat everybody the same no matter what they look like.

And she thought about that for a minute.

And she said, well, that's what Jesus said.
