On our 7 minute drive to school, I was listening to a news story on the radio that mentions the White House and from the back seat I hear……
D: “I see that white house”
Me: “That’s not the White House they were talking about.”
D: “Where’s that white house she talk about?”
Me: “It’s a special building in Washington DC, where the President of the United States lives.”
D: “Have we been to his house?”
Me: “You haven’t been there, but I was in the White House once, a long time ago.”
D: “Are there Army guys there?”
Me: “There are lots special guards there.”
D: “Do they have guns?”
Me: “Yes, some of them have guns.”
D: “Did the guy that lives there come and talk to you.”
Me: “No, I did not get to talk to the President of the United States.”
D: “That not very polite. You should talk to people when they come to your house. Is that right, Mom?”
