Terminated

My friend Joe called me today to relate a story about his eight year old daughter that I thought might bear repeating here. Recently she has been on a kick where she keeps asking him if she can watch R rated movies. The answer is, of course, no. Last night, she asked if she could watch The Terminator. When Joe said no, she gave him her "cute" face and asked him how he could resist a face like this. When the answer was still no, she marched to the phone, picked up the receiver and dialed a few numbers. What ensued was a three minute imaginary phone conversation with the President about the relative fairness of her father's rules when compared to the rest of American households. She then hung up and announced that President Bush had said that her father's actions were "unjust and illegal". To which Joe replied: "I guess that's why I didn't vote for him."
