If She Were President
16 NovMy daughter was so exited about the election, and there were numerous school activities feeding the frenzy. Looking at schoolwork that was sent home last week, I discovered a gem of a writing example.
It said:
“If I were president I would go swimming every Friday. I would have children and make them go to school. I would roast marshmallows over the stove. I would give money to the food bank. That is what I will do if I am president.”
So in other words, if she were president, she would be JUST LIKE ME. So cute! We had a little talk on how she could definitely do all of that, but she didn’t need to be president to do so.
You’re probably wondering about roasting marshmallows over the stove… I got this idea after a camping trip when I was single. I was craving roasted marshmallows, and started roasting them over the stove rather regularly. Anyway, I recently introduced the kids to this idea, and we save the marshmallows for a special occasion — when she gets 100% on a spelling test we celebrate by making s’mores.
Her latest pursuit is making cards like the nuns, and she wants to sell them to make money. Thanks to that kid note, I’ve encouraged her to give a portion of her proceeds to the food bank. Of course so far, I seem to be the only buyer of these cards!
