Day Twenty-Nine of Get it Down–”When I’m President”
DS17 announced the other day, “I know what I’m going to be when I grow up.” We’re pretty used to his long list. He’ll be very quiet for a while, thinking, and out he’ll come with a question about how to become a police officer. Or whether he can go ahead and join a rock band now so he can be a rock star. Or maybe a Nascar driver.
So, I asked DS17 what he wanted to be (THIS time), and said, “I’m going to be the president!”
Nevermind that you have to run for and be elected president. Which would actually be no problem for him–he has what it takes. He is very people oriented, and he is a typical politician–trying to say things to make everyone happy. Yeah, he could win.
He continued, “When I’m president, I’m going to make two laws: First, everyone has to be a Christian. Second, nobody can get drunk.”
So there you have it. When my budding rock star/veterinarian/police officer/Nascar driver/chef becomes president, watch out if you have a different religious persuasion or if you enjoy drinking that demon liquor.
