Sally and Felix always get excited when election time rolls around. Angelo wants to know what the entire hullabaloo is about Election Day. Felix sits Angelo on his knee and explains it to him this way: “Well son, you have to understand, your mother and I are Yeller Dawgs.” “But Daddy, what’s a Yeller Dawg?” “Well Angelo, it’s this way. Your mother and I would sooner vote for a damn yeller dawg than vote for one of those nasty old Republicans.” “Daddy, can I be a Yeller Dawg when I grows up?” “Why of course you can son, you’ve got a good head on your shoulders.” Bobby |

This made me giggle. Yeah for Felix explaining it to his son... I've no clue what I am (well - actually I think I do NOW)! Guess my dad needed to sit me on his knee! |

No one seems to have found the magic formula till now, considering the situation our world is in ... But it is indeed a good initiative to discuss politics with our children, so that they get used to value the leaders' deeds. Good job. Love, Margherita |

Thanks dear Alison, It's good to transfer beliefs openly. That way everyone knows where the other people are at. Love Bobby |
