Kid Conversation

TYLER: "Did you know only men use to be able to vote? They didn't even let women vote at one time."



ME: "Yes, women had to fight for the right to vote. Do you think woman should be able to vote?"



TYLER: rolls eyes and looks like I don't have a brain in my head - you know the look - "There has never been a woman president."



ME: "No, not yet. Maybe someday."



TYLER: "How old do you have to be to be the president?"



ME: "35"



TYLER: "You're not even old enough yet."



ME: "Nope."



TYLER: "If you were president you could meet with other presidents and kings and stop wars."



ME: "Honey, I will never be elected president."



TYLER: "Why? You could stop wars."



ME: "I'm not someone people would vote for. I'm not nice enough. Maybe you could be president when you grow up."



TYLER: ignores his mother once again to return to breakfast
