Joe comes to me, sounding so sad and dejected.
Joe: Dash wants Obama to be our President.
Me: That's good because Mr. Obama is our President.
Joe: Yeah, well, I don't want him to be our President.
Me (taken aback): You don't? Who do you want to be our President?
Joe: I want our old President back.
Me: You want President Bush back?
Joe: No. Not him. The other President.
Anne: Do you mean President Hinckley? Gordon Hinckley?
Joe: No. Not him.
Rose: Good. Because he's dead.
Joe: Not Obama. Not Hinckley. Not Bush. The other one. President Maw...
Me: President Monson?
Joe: Yeah. Him. I liked him. I want him to still be President. Not Obama.
Haha! I quickly explained to Joe that President Monson is still our President. He is the President of the Church and our religious leader and will be for quite a while. I also told him a little about President Obama and his role for our country. I'm not sure Joe understood it all, but he is much relieved that Monson is still our Prophet & President.

I agree with Joe, I much prefer President Monson to Obama. He must be a good judge of character.
Joe is a very smart boy! I agree with him! :D
That is cute! How is your painting coming along?
You were only slightly incredulous when you thought he wanted President Bush back? ;)
Joe knows who to want!
