Ben Explaining Joe Biden to His Parents
Ben is in first grade and this conversation took place earlier this week in the car.
You can listen here.
BEN: I miss Joe Biden.
DAD: Where did you see Joe Biden?
BEN: In a magazine.
DAD: In a magazine?
BEN: In a voting magazine.
MOM: In a voting magazine. What do you like about him?
BEN: Well, I just like him.
DAD: What do you think is cool about him?
BEN: That he’s good at being president.
MOM: You think he’ll be good at being president?
BEN: Yes.
MOM: What did Katy (Mom’s friend) tell you about him? Remember?
BEN: That he likes grandmas.
MOM: He likes grandmas.
BEN: And I like grandmas, too. (Pause) Donald Trump does not like grandmas.
MOM: Probably not.
BEN: He doesn’t like Gigi …
BOTH MOM AND DAD: No. Definitely not. (Laughter)
MOM: Do you?
BEN: I do.
(Pause and then Ben picks it up again.)
BEN: I don’t like Donald Trump, though. He is mean … and evil. He likes people who are evil.

I am blessed to live in a family that are all Democrats, including my brother and both his children.
Have a great weekend and call somebody to vote. Grandmas are counting on you.
