the best people

This afternoon I was petting Dolly in the sunlight slanting through the bedroom window when Jack came rushing in to use the bathroom. As he sat pooping on the throne, he said, "Mommy, I think the best people for us are first, God; second, Jesus; third, the Holy Spirit; and fourth...um uh..."

I waited.

"um... Abraham Lincoln."

"Why Abraham Lincoln?"

"Because he made us not into slavery. And fifteenth... I mean fifth... was Roosevelte."

"Teddy or Franklin Delano?"

"Was Teddy the one they let be president for 12 years?"

"No, that was Franklin. FDR."

"OK. Him."

I guess he does listen.
