Politics

Today I took the kids down to Moore to have lunch with Lisa. On the way down I had a really funny conversation with Alex that went something like this.
A: Dad, what is that building with the man on top?
D: That's the Capital Building. It's where the people who make laws work.
A: I would like to go there!
D: (Thinking this would be a great learning experience although maybe a little over the head of a 4 year old) Sure! Let's plan to go sometime, it's a very interesting building and there are lot's of paintings and statues to see.
A: I think I would like to work there and make laws. I will make truck laws.
D: Wow! That would be very cool.
A: I will make secret truck laws so that people will build REAL robots. Robots in Disguise.
D: .....
A: You know Dad, transformers? Only Autobots though, not Decepticons.
D: Well if you're going to build robots that sounds pretty good.
D: (Trying to steer the conversation into a political discussion, why I don't know. It's a long drive to Moore.) Did you know that they make laws about money? Do you think we should give money to people who don't work?
A: I think we should put all the money into my piggy bank and then I will pay people to build signs, and bridges, and buildings, and trucks. Robot trucks. Just autobots though.

In other news, I've stopped letting him watch an episode of Transformers everyday.
