Dear President Obama,
Today I saw the Inauguration on the TV at school. I liked the speech you gave. Here are some ideas I have for you as President.
1. Not let any wars come to America because I heard there was a war in Iraq. It sounded very scary.
2. Maybe make a law that there are no guns allowed except for policemen, because Abe Lincoln got shot by someone.
3. Maybe make a law that there is no smoking aloud because people are dieing from it.
Have fun in the White House.
Sincerely,
Red
Sometimes our children are so much wiser than adults.
Very nice, I like it a lot!
Red is so sweet. She may end up saving the world one day all by herself.
Kids have the best ideas and aren’t afraid to put them out there! Kudos to Red.
That was too cute.
The very idea of war is so frightening for children. In the US, we are so lucky because other than Pearl Harbor, there has been no warfare on our soil since the Civil War. I remember when Georgia (the country) was invaded and people were being killed, my son freaked out when I drove into Georgia (the state) for some less expensive gas. He was very worried about the fighting there. I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time.
Thank you for this. It’s easy to forget that we basically want the same things, most of us.
Too bad we make it so complicated as adults.
Here’s to starting over and trying again!
“Have fun in the White House!”
Awesome!!
Out of the mouth’s of Babe’s.
It would be great if he actually received this and sent her something back in return. They do that sometimes, you know?
But I need my cigars…
Go Red!
That is sooo cool ..
Go Red!
And that pretty much sums it all up, LOL. Well done, Red!
it’s things like this that let you know just how well you’re doing as a parent 🙂
nice going Mom!
When Red runs for office, she’ll have my vote.
we have a law that just passed where it is now illegal to smoke in your car if you have anyone under the age of 18 (or maybe it’s 16, i’m not a smoker so i didn’t pay that much attention) in it while you’re driving.
