Hello, Mr. President
What did you think of tonight's election results? My support and prayers are behind our future 44th president. Feeling patriotic and hopeful, we watched Barack Obama's acceptance speech tonight. I thought he did a great job.
Mary: So if Obama is the next president, where did the old president go?
Me: Well, he doesn't start until January. That gives the old president--George W. Bush--time to finish up and the upcoming president--that's Barack Obama--time to get ready. I mean, he couldn't really start this very second, right?
Mary: Yeah, that makes sense. He wouldn't even know where his desk was!
Me: Right, and he has to move all of his stuff into the White House.
Mary: Move in? Does the White House have bathrooms?
Me: Yes, and living rooms, bedrooms, a kitchen . . .
Mary: Oooh, I hope I grow up to marry the president of the United States--or become president myself. That would be awesome! Well, actually, I wouldn't want to be the president because I wouldn't want people coming into my house and complaining at me all the time.
Me: That's why it takes a special person to do the job.
Mary: I hope his children aren't troublesome. That would be terrible if they terrorized the White House!
Me: Would you terrorize the White House if you were there?
Mary: I would try not to, but probably, yeah.
