Our Tax Dollars at Work

Connor's teacher, Mrs. Matzke, keeps parents updated via e-mail on class happenings and what the kids are learning in class. Today, the class learned about President's Day. In case you've been wondering how our tax dollars are really being spent, the preschoolers have blown the whistle on the President. Here is what they came up with in class:

What The President Does:
  • He talks on the phone.
  • He paints.
  • He does puppet shows.
  • He talks about his life.
  • He rides on a choo choo train.
  • He has brown clothes on and looks like Barack Obama (or "Rocklebama" as Connor says)
  • He talks to everybody
  • He gets stuff.
  • He uses a phone when he talks.
  • He goes in a fort.

I would so love to see David Letterman's comments on this list. Seriously, how do teachers keep a straight face?

Ha! That is hilarious! After reading that list, it makes me want to be President after all.

The other day while at Target, Logan saw a magazine cover with our new president on it and asked: "Why doesn't Daddy try to be President of the United States?"

I said, "It's not a job I would want him to have."

"Why?"

"Oh...because it's so hard. Half the people in the world hate you or at least disagree with you; there are a lot of really hard decisions to make, and people will always think you get it wrong..."

"Oh...so Daddy's a hider."

Kids.
