My first grader tonight

Me: "Do you know why school is closed on Monday?"
She: "Yes, it's Presidents Day."
Me: "Did you learn about Presidents Day in school today?"
She: "Yes, we learned about Washington and...uhm...Lincoln (did I say that right?)."
Me: "Yes, Abraham Lincoln. Do you know who the president is now?"
She: "Uhm, Mr...."
Me: "Obama."
She: "Yes, Mr. Obama."
Silence for a few moments.
She: "I wonder who the next president will be."
Me: "Who would you like it to be?"
She: "The girl."
Me: "Me too."
