Conversation of the Day
I am not making this up, nor did I coach my four-year-old son in any way. He looked over my shoulder while I was watching Fred Thompson call out Huckabee for what he stands for.
Son: “Who is the president of Oregon?”
Me: “We don’t have a president of Oregon. We have a governor. His name is Ted Kulongoski. But we have a president of the United States, and his name is George Bush. In November, we’ll vote for a new president of the United States.”
Son: “Who is it going to be?”
Me: “We have to vote to find out. Voting is how we choose the president. Voting is choosing, for the president.”
Son: “Well, my president is Fred Thompson.”
Me: …
Me (trying, and failing, to keep a straight face): “Why is that?”
Son: “Because it’s my favorite and I love it.”
