I was sitting on the couch at Denise's house this morning waiting for Parker to take him over to Hunter's house for a sleep-over when the phone rang. Parker answered, and it was his mom. Now, if you have ever been on the other side of a telephone conversation with Parker, you know that one word answers are about all you can hope for. However- today he must have been exploding with ideas that just needed an outlet. I caught onto the phenomenon of his jabbering just in time to tune into his conversation taking the path of "If I was the President..."
This is Denise's account of what he said:
I called home from work and talked to Parker. He started talking about how he wishes he could have more sleepovers with Hunter and somehow ended up telling me what he would do if he were President. First, he would change things so that school only happened on Thursdays and Fridays. That way his after school robotics class on Fridays would come sooner. It would also give kids a chance to play with their friends, learn a little bit, and spend more time with their families. He would also be able to have more sleepovers with Hunter. He said that I would only have to work if I wanted to, because money is not all that important. It’s just paper anyway, so we would all use coins instead. This would also save trees from being cut down and we would have more oxygen for the Earth. He also said that if anyone saw people using drugs or drinking beer, they should call 911 so that the police could arrest them for 2 years, because that is how long it takes to not be addicted anymore. Before they could leave the police would put some beer in a glass and see if the person drank it. If they did they would have to stay longer until they weren’t addicted anymore. It would be better for everyone that way. I love the way his mind works!!
World Problems?.. SOLVED! ha ha ha
