Five year old girl to daddy: "Why do Aarrack Obama and John McCain want to be president?"
Daddy: "Well, that is a good question. I don't know. Hopefully, they want to serve the country well."
Five year old girl: "I think it is because George Washington died and someone has to take his place."
In car from church fall festival to Aunt's house for party on Halloween:
Daddy: "Wow! Look at all of the trick-or-treaters."
Seven year old boy: "Daddy, when will we get to go trick-or-treating?"
Daddy: "We'll see."
Seven year old boy: "I hope it is soon because I am ready to see some new faces."
Five year old girl on the ferris wheel with Daddy (both for their first time):
Notes:
The boy and girl did get to go trick-or-treating; they had a grand time. George Washington was one of the few presidents who never did want the job; William Howard Taft was another. Teddy Roosevelt reportedly offered to make him a Supreme Court justice or his chosen successor as president. Taft chose justice. Taft's wife chose president. Taft's wife won. His presidency was challenging and unsatisfactory. Years later he would live his dream as chief justice of the Supreme Court. It is not a typo: my daughter cannot say the "B" in Barack's name.
Peace
