Happy Birthday Johnny!

Tomorrow is Johnny Appleseed's birthday. Did you know that? Isn't it amazing that i knew that. Actually, I didn't realize that it was. My mother-in-law told me. And it's only because of pre-school that Johnny even came up. Of course today was "A for Johnny Appleseed Day" at pre-school. After school today Ryan went to his cousins house for some playing and i picked him up on my way to go get Ethan and Sam from school. When we got into the car i asked Ryan how pre-school was and if he had fun, and what his favorite part was. We got talking about the picture he drew and he was telling me he couldn't remember the guy's name so i started by saying slowly to help remind him "Johhhhhnnnnn" to which Ryan's quick reply was "John the Baptist!" I smiled to myself and said "close, Johnny Appleseed." He said back "oh yeah, Johnny Appleseed". Few hours later when we were finishing up dinner tonight he was talking about pre-school again. And he said so matter of factly, "mom, i like john the baptist." So close. Happy birthday anyway, Johnny.

So there is this "rumor" i remember hearing about when we were younger. That we were actually related to Johnny Appleseed. Is it true or not?
