Presidential Introduction

Breakfast conversation this morning with Jayce...

J Hey mom, I know what's on the back of a nickel.  It's a white temple. 

M No, it's the 'White House'.  Who lives there?

J Oh, I know.  Joseph Smith. 

M  Umm, no.  The president of the United States.  Do you know his name?

J  George Washington.

M Well yes, he was the first president of the US.  And George Bush was our president until recently.  But we have a new president now.  His name is (gulp) Barack Obama.

J WHAT?  

Yeah, that was my first reaction too.

  1. That is just awesome. You know you're doing a good job when your kids think the temple is so important they put on money, and that the Prophet runs the free world.
