A conversation with my five year old:
Norah: Mom, have you ever heard of a king who did whatever his people wanted him to do?
Me: No, I don’t think so.
Norah: I’m pretty sure they exist.
Me (homeschool mom trying to insert a lesson in government): What if you had some yummy lemonade and I wanted your lemonade. What would the king do then? How would he decide who would get the lemonade?
Norah (without hesitation): He would make more lemonade!
I’d vote for her!
