Superstar and I were playing a game Saturday, and the word we had to find was "celebrity." So I asked him what people he recognized as celebrities. We broke it into categories to help him. Here is who my 11 year old recognizes as famous people:
Actors or Actresses: zero
Singers:
Michael Jackson - "They talk about him a lot at school"
Elvis
The Beach Boys
Justin Beaver [Bieber]
(A whole lot of Book of Mormon and modern prophets and apostles)
Football (Soccer) players:
Pele - great
John Cruyff of the Netherlands
Banks of Germany? great goalie [I google it... Gordon Banks of England]
Akers on the USA women's World Cup team
Carly Lloyd who did so well at the 2015 World Cup
Maradona for Argentina - "Hand of God would also have been a good Google search, Dad"
Joe Gaetjens - "He scored the only goal in a game against England - biggest upset in soccer history!"
Jules Rimet - "The guy who started the World Cup"
History:
George Washington
Columbus
John Adams
Alexander the Great
John F. Kennedy
He wanted a bit more time to think and Monday morning came up with:
Someone named something like Griknna, but Google can't find them so our spelling is off.
Does famous always mean "good"? Okay then, Hitler.
