President's Day.
Monday, February 21, 2011 at 05:57PM 1. Micah would like to know why he didn't get any President's Day cupcakes. It just so happens that his class at Options has gotten cupcakes for the last few weeks (for Valentine's and for student birthdays). He felt deprived today. :)
2. When I explained to the boys that today is President's Day, I also asked them (just for curiosity's sake) what one new law they would push for if they were president. Here are their answers:
Micah: "I'd make it so schools couldn't start until 10:00."
Asher: "I'd have schools start at 10:30 but I'd have us go to Options two times a week to make up for the later start."
(Yes, I happened to ask this in the morning...whilst they were still complaining about having to wake up early this one day each week. And, yes, they know that they're fortunate that they only have to wake up early on Mondays. It doesn't prevent them from complaining about it, lol.)
Noah: "I'd require the government to give everyone over the age of 8 a free iPhone 4 and then make all cell service in the United States free. Sure, it might put the government into more debt, but I'd have a cell phone." ;)
(This was his "final" answer after debating with himself about the possibility of requiring everyone in the world to speak just one language (to which Asher pointed out that I'd only said President of the United States, not of the world) or requiring everyone to switch to the metric system (which he admitted was more doable and "so obvious").)
3. Yeah, I didn't really have a third point. Just wanted to document these quick thoughts. ;)
