I recently asked my friend’s little boy what he wanted to be when he grows up.

He said he wanted to be President some day.

Both of his parents, liberal Democrats,were standing there, so I asked her,‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’

He replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the bums in town.’ His parents beamed.

‘Wow!  What a worthy goal.’ I told him, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that.You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I’ll pay you $50.  Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where that bum guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.’

He thought that over for a few seconds, then he looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the bum come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?’

I said, ‘I sure am glad that you are a Conservative.’

His parents still aren’t speaking to me.

A child having more sense at an early age than his parents is a comedy/tragedy/reality?
