Smartypants says: “Uncle J said Obama was historical.”
I say: “Yes. He’s the first black nominee for President. That’s never happened before.”
Smartypants says: “So his nomicanation is historical.”
I say: “Yes.”
Smartypants says: “Well, I didn’t think he was historical because you have to be old to be historical like the buildings in town. And Obama looks college-aged or Mr. Price’s@School’s age – and I don’t think he’s old either. Maybe 20.”
Pause.
Smartypants says: “So, which team nominated him?”
I say: “You mean party. The Democratic Party.”
Smartypants says: “Is Uncle J. a Democratic?”
I say: “Yes.”
Smartypants says: “Well, Uncle J said he wasn’t voting for him no matter how black he was.”
I say: “Uncle J said that?”
Smartypants says: “Yeah, because Obama never served anywhere but in a fancy office: he wasn’t a army man like Uncle J was. Uncle J said he’s just a slick-talking pansy-butt. But Uncle J used the other word. You want me to say it?”
I say: “No.”
Smartypants says: “It starts with an A- and end with an S- and has another S-.”
I say: “I know the word.”
Smartypants says: Uncle J said black solidcarry doesn’t matter if you’re blowed up by Russia and he’d druther pick that lady who eats rice.”
I say: “We’re not getting blown up by Russia. There is no lady who eats Rice. You need to stop listening to your Uncle J. He’s that word that starts with an A- and ends with an S- and he’s crazy.”
Smartypants says: “I’m telling him you said that.”
I say: “I’ll give you a dollar if you do.”
Pause.
Smartypants says: “So I guess there’s a lot of White People on the Democrat team.”
I say: “What?”
Smartypants says: “Well, they could have nominated a regular black guy. Then, he would have won and that would be even more historical, but White People probably don’t want to be too historical all at once you know.”
I say: “Did Uncle J tell you that?”
Smartypants says: “No, I knowed that myself.”
I say: “I see.”
Smartypants says: “When I run, I’m going run `publican. So they can’t stop me.”
well, maybe he could get a job working for the FOX network?
When I was around his age I meant to grow up and become Wonder Woman. I’m hoping his “I want to be a conservative bi-racial Republican Presidential Candidate/Rock-Star w/dreadlocks” is much the same.
He’ll grow out of it.
Meanwhile, I have discovered allowing him find the flaws in his own argument(s) is more effective than just telling him he’s wrong. Remember, he has Republican Tendencies and therefore struggles with such admissions.
This needs to be picked up nationally. It is one of the funniest things you ever have written.
‘republican tendencies’, LOL. and as your previous commenter said, this post was most funny. true things usually are.
but yes, i heard the calm restraint in your responses, just yes and no … until you offered him a dollar to tell on you. funny stuff.
and heck, i’d probably vote for a bi-racial Republican Presidential Candidate/Rock-Star w/dreadlocks!
