and neither are they all dead. Eli watching tv and unfortunately watching all the billion political ads suddenly sits up and says, "It's just so sad." Of course I'm thinking, yes it's sad we are subjected to nasty politics and phone calls and billboards.....(you get the idea of where my brain went). That is not where his brain was.
I asked him what he meant and his response was pretty eye opening as to what he's been working on in school and what ground still needs to be covered. He said, "It is so sad that the president will die." What? Yep he thinks that President Obama is dieing and that's why there is an election. That was a good 30 minutes of conversation that probably didn't do our governmental system justice and I'm also confident that I've confused the child beyond repair. At least he now understands that presidents don't necessarily die at the end of their term or during elections.
