After her bath this evening, Nina and I were having a conversation. She was saying that school was pretty boring and why do they have to go every day. She asked me if I could let the kids skip going to school. I told her that it wasn’t up to me, and she asked if it was up to the teachers. Trying to short cut the possibility of other questions, I said no, that it was up to the people that make the laws like the President. Her response to me was, “Why do guys only rule over our states?” to which my answer was maybe she could be the first female President. She said she didn’t “know everything about things” yet, but when I asked her what rules she would make if she was president, this was her list… By the way, I wrote out the rules the way she said them.
Rule #1: Be careful with fragile things
Rule #2: Don’t knock stuff in other people’s houses when you’re acting like an animal
Rule #3: Kids have to go to school but not on the weekends (I found it interesting that she didn’t change this rule even when this is what started the conversation)
Rule #4: Do not pull someone’s hair
Rule #5: Put on bug spray before you go outside
Rule #6: Don’t go crazy like a lion or tiger – have control of yourself
Rule #7: Brush your teeth before you go to bed
Rule #8: Don’t go creeping in someone’s house at night
Rule #9: You can’t go crazy about treats when you want them
Rule #10: The best thing I want to be as President is to have people obey God and respect him
I would definitely vote for her!

I would like to have an officer role in the "Nina for President" campaign. Please let me know if there are openings.
ReplyDeleteI am also impressed with her use of the word "creeping" -- where does she come up with this stuff?
I love her self control...."you can't go crazy about treats, even when you want them." she is a hoot.
ReplyDeleteThat was adorable...I'm sensing she might've been told some of these "rules" before (love the acting like animals ones :))
