7yr old friend of family to me earlier - 'do you want Barak Obama to win the election'
me in a text to his mum later - 'impressed by son's political knowledge, you're much better parent than me'
text from friend in reply - 'his sister said she wants the one who looks like Lewis Hamilton to win, so we've still got work to do'!
me, feeling guilty, explaining politics to the kids later - 'the president has lots of very important decisions to make all day every day'
my youngest to me in response - 'like 'can you get me a cup of tea please?' do you mean?'
my reply - 'well, sort of ...'
his response -'who is gordon brown again?'
my reply - 'our prime minister' ... sensing disinterest growing and knowing what appeals to little boys i added 'he's got a glass eye you know!'
Got their vote!
