- I have been meaning to post the following conversation with
- our 5 year old who has also been paying attention to
- politics recently. Seeing this post spurred me to action -
-
- Joshua: "We have two presidents"
- Me: "No, We have one president and one vice-president who
- is sort of an assistant to the president and helps out
- the president"
- Joshua: "No, we have *TWO* presidents!"
- Me: "Joshua, why do you think we have two presidents?"
- Joshua: "Because if one gets sent to jail, we'll still
- have a president."
- Don (Dad): "Joshua, if one gets sent to jail, then the
- other president will pardon the one sent to
- jail...."
