Pool Man
I can always count on the kid to lift my spirits after a tough day in the office. Driving home we were listening to an NPR story about Barack Obama’s alternative energy plans.
Tommy: Mommy! I never met Arack Obama! (Tommy mentioned on Election Night that if Barack Obama got to be president, he would want to meet him. But also that he didn’t want Barack Obama to take his hamster.)
Me: No, I guess you didn’t meet Barack Obama. Do you still want to?
Tommy: No. He lives too far away.
Me: Where does he live?
Tommy: In Ocean City.
Me: Oh yeah? What does he do in Ocean City?
Tommy: He fills the swimming pools. (My son loves to swim, so I think this is a pretty high compliment.)
Me: Cool. Does he have any pets?
Tommy: No. He’s allergic to pets.
Well I guess that’s partially true. I gotta keep that kid listening to NPR.
