President’s Day
I was eating lunch on the 20th of February with my 10-year-old granddaughter and I asked her, “What day is tomorrow?” She said “It’s President’s Day!” She is a smart kid.
I asked “What does President’s Day mean?” I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln …. etc. She replied, “President’s Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment.”
You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose…..
