The following is a true story. No embellishment.

Last night we were sitting at the dinner table and talking about whatever when McKenna chimed in with what she wanted to do after dinner.

“I want to color,” she said.
I said, “Oh yeah, what do you want to color?”
She replied, “I want to color an Easter picture for Barack Obama.”
With a small amount of surprise I said, “Really?”
“Yup. I want to color a squirrel for him. Can we send it to him?”
“OK. If you do a good job eating your dinner, you can do a coloring for President Obama and I promise I will mail it to him.”
As if to underline the importance she said, “Barack Obama is the 44th president.”

After dinner she sat down and colored a picture to send to our president.

During bath time she was still talking about it. I could hear her asking my wife if President Obama would hang it on his refrigerator.

So, like a dutiful father I wrote a quick little letter for the enclosed piece of art and mailed it off this morning.

I hope he (or at least a staffer) enjoys it. I know McKenna did.
