hail to the chief

driving home from school today:
"mom, why are the flags low?"
"the flags are at half-staff because a man who was once the president of the united states died. they lower the flags to honor him and to show respect. his name was gerald ford and he was president a long time ago. the predident is the leader of the U.S. and makes a lot of tough decisions"
"i could do that. i'll be the president one day."
"that's the great thing about the United States, em. you could be president one day."

so for today, the dog-walking dentist aspirations are on hold while she prepares to be the leader of the free-world.
