While driving home from soccer practice tonight, Annabella asked me, “Mom, how high can you count?”
I said, “I can’t really say, honey. I’m pretty good at counting and, given unlimited time, I could probably count quite high.”
“Then what is your favorite number?”
“My favorite number happens to be the number 2. What about you? What’s your favorite number?”
“When I become president, I think my favorite number will be 50.”
So, thinking it has to do with the number of states, or something like that, I ask, “And why do you think the number 50 will be your favorite?”
“I don’t know. It just sounds right.”
“Ok,” I say, “So, I notice you say when, not if you become president, is this something you’re planning on doing?”
“I think it would be a good idea.”
“Just to be clear, you are talking about becoming president of the United States, right? Not president of a company or a club or something?”
“Yep.”
Perfect.
