"Historical" Obsession(s)

Between MLK Jr Day in Mid-January and President's Day in Mid-February, my son's first grade class had been taught about MLK, Civil rights movement, Presidents etc. Little did we realize how much our son was engrossed with these aspects of history until one day when I refused to let him drink a "full" glass of some frozen juice citing he was a just kid and that adults can have a full glass. With all seriousness in his face, he retorted back " This is unfair. You are "segregating" me...". My wife and I couldn't control our laughter. 

That obsession with history continued to Presidents and apparently they seemed to have an even greater impact than MLK. My wife grew so sick of hearing about Lincoln day-in and day-out,  that one day at dinner table, when our son checked my wife's history knowledge by asking who killed Lincoln, my wife replied - "I would have.....if he were alive today".  

That did not deter the young American citizen from cherishing his dreams further - yes, to become the President. He even expressed regret and felt sorry that me and my wife could not become presidents as we are not born in USA. His ambitious agenda had very clear goals - for his two terms of Presidency. Oh yeah, he won re-election folks. First term to focus on banning smoking and second term to focus on increasing recycling. To make me even more proud with his liberal agenda, he also added complete gun control - only police can carry arms. I wish I were alive when that day comes. By the way, since 35 is the minimum age for qualifying for Presidency, he has also decided that he will be the 61st President of USA. And, we as parents of the President, might visit the White House occasionally but cannot live there, as grown-up kids do not live with parents apparently even though the said kid happens to be the US President.

Hold on, it does not end there. Take a look at the future White House with his name on top. The other great presidents of past still get to keep the rooms in their names as it stands today. We have some snaps of American revolution and civil war too. Take a look.
