Driving her to school today, I heard President Obama say:
I come here not to dispute the suggestion that I haven’t yet achieved enough in my life. First of all, Michelle (Obama) concurs with that assessment. She has a long list of things that I have not yet done waiting for me when I get home.
I laughed. That was pretty darn funny, I thought to myself.
Emma wondered what what so funny. Not knowing how to explain the subtleties of interaction between husbands and wives, I bungled the attempt.
She laughed, and then told me “that wasn’t very funny, dad.” She then proceeded to tell me what’s funny:
A rooster gets on a stage and puts on a dress and then sings in a microphone to lots of roosters! Is that funny dad?
You know, it kinda is. And I stand corrected.
The acorn falleth not far from the tree……….!
The two of you were actually talking about the same event…
