This evening I gave Bud a political pop quiz.
"Bud, who is the President?"
"Barack Obama."
"Right. And who is the Secretary of State?"
"His wife?"
"No, she's the First Lady. The Secretary of State is Hill-"
"Hillary Clinton?"
"Right!"
"She's what?"
"Secretary of State."
And on we went - Vice President, Governor... Then, slyly, I asked, "And who is the best mom in the whole wide world?"
"Mrs. Obama."
"Mrs. Obama? She's the BEST mom in the WHOLE world?"
"Yes. Mrs. Obama."
"Well, who is the second best mom?"
"You, Mom."
Yeah.
I think that's what's known in the business as "payback." But, Bud? I hate to break this to you, honey, but I'll bet Mrs. Obama gives Malia and Sasha pop quizzes a lot more often than I give them to you.
And, Bud?
She also makes them make their own beds.

I'm impressed. I can't even name the senators or governor of my current state. I only know the representative for my home district because everyone I know hates him so much and blames the failings of the universe on him (granted they are probably his fault, but still...).
Thanks for this much needed smile tonight.
This made me giggle. "Mrs. Obama."
That's delightful! Hey, at least if you have to play second fiddle to some other mama, he picked a good one for you! :)
You are raising quite a fine son!
Aw,how cute!
LOL, that is very cute :)
would that we could all "train" our kids to do the same!
Maybe it's because she's getting them a puppy. :)
Love your blog! And this post :)
My Jack really enjoys saying "BaaaROCK OOObama!" I figure if that will pull him over to my lefty leanings, it works for me.
Thank you for your story, it really made me laugh! I too am impressed with your son's knowledge - you're obviously doing a great job.
