We just finished an entertaining family night. Jeffrey had the lesson tonight, and he talked about 'people in authority' and where do they get their authority.
The kids listed several individuals, such as: The Prophet, The President of the United States, Jesus, teachers, principals.....and Dad.
They were then asked to explain where each person obtained their authority. The responses were a joy to listen to.
As they went through the list, they came to Dad. "Where does Dad get his authority," they were asked.
The response was, "He is voted in by the people!"
What I'd like to know is, at the end of this term, who will run against me? Can I carry enough votes to seek re-election? Are there term limits for fathers?
I imagine my platform will be based on sugared cereals and family movie nights.
As my children approach their teenage years, perhaps remaining in office will become more of a challenge. Can I carry the swing-bedrooms if I veto their dating choices? How long will I be allowed to enforce clean bedrooms and laundry?
I am so grateful I have such a wonderful running mate in Coralee. Together, I am confident we'll remain in office.

You're polling very well with the 0-3 demographic, but you've weakened with the 4-9 group since you signed into law the No Gum Left On Your Behind Act.
