Well, I know who the next president is going to be?

Our five year old grandson informed us today that the next president was going to be a woman. This really surprised me that he would even talk politics. I asked him what woman he was talking about and he said he couldn't remember her name. I took a stab at it and aske if her name was Sarah Palin. He brightened up and said 'yes, it's Sarah Palin'. He said his mommy told him that Sarah Plalin was going to be the the next president.

So, there you have it from the mouth of babes.

Seriously? An adult told him something that he repeated and you find that amazing?

I once had a conversation with a 5 or 6 year old who said Bush Senior was going to win the election against Clinton and he got rather angry if anyone disagreed with him. After talking to him a bit I found out that he thought this because his dead father was pro Bush and he ended the conversation by saying that his father was rooting for him up in heaven. Which was a thought that made him rather animated about the whole thing. Despite how much he thought he wanted Bush to win, he was ultimately wrong because there was no basis for his opinion outside of the words and emotions he picked up from the people he looked up to. Which kids do all the time - No doubt, there are lots of children of die hard Obama fans who are going around telling people that he will win the next election. And that may be true, but it also may not be. So, I'm no more going to take predictions, about the future, from those easily impressionable children than I am from your grandson. And if you weren't such an idiot, you wouldn't do so either.

"Our five year old grandson informed us today that the next president was going to be a woman."

I wonder if anyone will point out to you the OT rules regarding prophets? Should he fail this prophecy of his, will you stone him as you're supposed to? Are you even aware that you're supposed to kill false prophets?

"This really surprised me that he would even talk politics. I asked him what woman he was talking about and he said he couldn't remember her name."

Yep. Sounds like a typical prophet to me.

"Lo, something will happen sometime in the near or distant future which may or may not be bad for everyone!"

"I took a stab at it and aske if her name was Sarah Palin. He brightened up and said 'yes, it's Sarah Palin'."

I wouldn't put Palin in charge of a fucking hot dog stand, let alone a country. From the polls I've seen, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

"He said his mommy told him that Sarah Plalin was going to be the the next president."

Yeah, I don't think so.

"So, there you have it from the mouth of babes."

But when he's wrong you are going to take him out and stone him to death, right? I mean, your god commands you to.

Actually you've heard it VIA the mouths of babes.

When my niece was 5 she asked me how escalators work. I told her that guinea pigs lived underneath them and ran in wheels which pushed the stairs up. For ages she would tell anyone she met about how the poor guinea pigs were being used like that (and would ask if they knew about feeding schedules, water breaks etc). The point of this story is that if a trusted adult (like your grandson's mother) tells a kid something that kid will swallow it hook, line and sinker.

BTW my niece questioned the logistics of the guinea pig story, figured out for herself that I was telling tales. Proud as hell of that little squirt!

"How cute. When I was his age I wanted Mewtwo to be the president. I still kind of do, he's certainly smarter than Palin, and he's psychic! Awesome."

As others have stated, let the Repubicans nominate Sarah Failin for their presidential ticket. They'd simply be handing Obama & the Democrats his second term on a gold platter. Frankly, the GOP would have a better chance with Mike The Headless Chicken:

And he's dead!

"My little brother told me that Pikachu was going to be the next president.... (little brother was playing gameboy, mom was talking about elections)

So, does that mean iraq is team rocket?"

The thought of Jessie in the White House?:

Stop it, you're turning me on.

(BTW, I always thought the title "Pokemon" sounded a bit 'oo-er, matron!'; 'Poke-a-mon'? Kinky.

So... when my five year old cousin Dylan comes up to me and tells me that unicorns are real and can talk, clouds are made of cotton candy and marsh mellows, and that an ugly little troll lives under his bed who steals his left socks and underwear at night and his teacher is an alien from Pluto... or that he has a real imaginary friend he talks to at school on the playground and at lunch... Im supposed to believe everything he says for reality and take him seriously because five year olds know everything and accurately tell life like it is? Okay... I'll remember that. At least that would explain why what you are trying to convince me of is true based on what your five year old grandson says is truth. Do you by chance go to kindergarten classes with him and trade your banana for his snack pack or help him write crayon messages to his mommy all over the wall? Cuz you certainly sound like an ignorant five year old yourself.
