I’m a mom learning to balance my family, faith, and writing career.

Gracie as President?

The other day I asked the kids to clean up the dress up box. They played dress up instead. Gracie (5.9 yrs) put on a double breasted black child size overcoat and proclaimed she was president.

When asked what she’d do as president she said, “I’d kill people and take their money!”

My reaction: Oh my! Though I’m not a president basher, I couldn’t help thinking that’s probably how many people see some presidents!

Later I told Gracie I was going to write it on the computer and tell my friends. She said, “Mommy, instead of killing people, I’ll put them in jail, and just make sure they know I was joking.”

Good thing she’s too young to run for president!

    You’ll be glad later that you posted this for posterity! One time our little girl told me in no uncertain terms that I would NOT be living with her when I was old…she blushes to the very roots of her hair to be reminded of that.

    (she has since recanted and said that I may live with her in my golden years…lol!)

    I think I’ll pass on voting for her.
    Ahhh, out of the mouth’s of babes.

    If Gracie were to put me in jail, at least I’d know she was joking. What a relief!

    You just keep enjoying every day with that young lady, Gina.
