When I was little and I saw the picture on the $1 bill I didn't know who it was. I knew the person had to be important, so I tried to think who the most important person in the world was. Finally I figured it out: the most important Person in the world was--GOD! So until I was about ten or so I thought the picture on the $1 bill was God. Even when I got older and knew better, it took me until I was sixteen or so to stop picturing Washington's picture on the bill while I was praying!
