Presidential Perspectives

In thinking about the election this morning, I was reminded of something I wrote down and saved to my files 8 years ago. I pulled it out and thought I would share it with you. It made me smile...

Emily and I were working on her Quiet Time for church and she needed to put a new person in her prayer booklet. I told her to draw a picture of a flag and then draw a man for the president of the United States. "Then you can pray for the president." I told her.

"I don't even know who the president is." She said. "I know," I said, " they are deciding today." "They are?" she asked. "Yes." I told her

"Is it going to be me?" she asked wide-eyed. "No honey, it's not going to be you."

"Oh man, if it was going to be me, I would give me a hundred bucks. And a big bag of candy" She then started to march around the room and say in her best deep "man" voice. "If I were president there would be more.. days.. of church!! And, morning Kindergartners would have more.. hours.. of school!!"

Well, there you have it. The main issues according to the youngest Alcorn. Life is so simple through the eyes of a six year old.
