Indy and I usually eat lunch around 12:30-1pm every day. Because of the time difference between here and the US, we watch the Today Show while we eat. With all the mid-term election brouhaha going on, he's taken a real interest in politics. We were eating on Friday and this was our conversation:
Indy: How old do you have to be to be President?
Me: At least 35, I think.
Indy: Maybe I should be President when I'm older.
Me: You think? What would you do?
Indy: Well, I would give food to the people who don't have any.
Me: That's a good idea. What eles?
Indy: Well...there's lots of empty buildings and houses in America, so I would put all the homeless people in the empty buildings and houses. I'd also stop the dolphin slaughter, but Obama should be taking care of that. If he doesn't though, I definitely would.
Me: Sounds like you'll be busy.
Indy: Yeah, but I'll be an awesome President. When can I be President?
Me: (thinking and adding
Indy: That's a long time from now.
Me: Not so long.
Indy: Yeah, and it will give me lots of time to think about how I'm going to fix stuff. Plus, I can be an archaeologist first and then be President.
Me: Good plan.
Indy: Yeah, I know. That's why I'm going to be such a good President. I have good plans.
So, in 30 years, vote for the former archaeologist. He has good plans. Plus, look at this face. How could you not vote for him?
i love kids with big dreams!
ReplyDeletei just found you today. i'm a homeschooling mom in tn at the moment, but i generally skip the heels these days. i seem to have forgotten how to walk in them after my kid was born.
How cute! Go Indy for dreaming the big dreams.
ReplyDeleteI want my Indy in 2040 t-shirt & bumper sticker now. The boy has my vote! (Not to mention the support of The Cocktail Party.)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'll look for him on the ballot in 2040.
