Me (showing Alex a picture of John Edwards in Time Magazine over breakfast): Do you recognize this guy?
Alex: Um...Hasselhoff?
Me: No. It's John Edwards, don't you remember that you met him?
Alex: Oh, right. He wants to be President instead of Bush.
Me: Would you vote for him for President?
Alex: No. I'd vote for Hillary Clinton.
Me: Why Hillary Clinton?
Alex (picking up a placemat with pictures of all the Presidents): See this?
Me: Yes...It's the Presidents.
Alex: See any GIRLS there?
Me: No.
Alex: I think it's a girl's turn. Hillary Clinton is a girl. She should have a turn. She would be better than Bush.
Me: You have a point. I think a lot of people feel the way you do. I'm still voting for Edwards.
Alex: That's ok. Hey, maybe he could be second boss if Hillary Clinton gets chosen.
Me: Maybe. Second boss is not a bad job. Dick Cheney seems to like it.
Alex: Who's Dick Cheney?
Me: Eat your cereal.
