Conversation with my daughter

Daddy, when I grow up, can I be President of the United States?


Seffie, I knew this day would come. I'd always planned for when you were going to ask this, and I was going to sit you down, and I was going to be completely honest. You weren't born into wealth, neither of your parents are ivy league educated and, well-- and I don't mean anything bad by this, you know daddy loves you because you're his little girl-- but you are a girl, and America has an terrible stereotype about women in power. But somehow, a drug-addicted, borderline retarded, idiot manchild that ran a baseball team into the ground managed to be elected twice, so by the time you're 40 and old enough to run, all bets will likely be off. So there's actually a pretty good chance you can become President! Don't even bother getting good grades. Just make sure you somehow end up with excessive amount of money you didn't earn, and you ought to be fine.
