Presidential Scandal?
It’s rare to have an extended conversation with Griffin about anything other than elevators, Chili’s, Wilford Brimley, weather conditions, and other kid’s misbehaving at school. So, the other day, while heading to the mall for an elevator safari, Mrs. Big Daddy was thrilled to participate in a gabfest where Lil Sis and Griffin were giving nicknames to all our family members – pets included. This is a bit ironic considering Griffin’s refusal to be called by any nickname whatsoever.
.
I can’t recall all the nicknames assigned that day, but one sticks in my head. Griffin, for some unknown reason, decided to nickname one of our cats “Future President.” This particular cat has not shown any presidential aspirations and, as far as I know, does not belong to any political party. However, this feline is the only pet in the house that is brave enough to risk severe hearing damage and enter Griffin’s room on a nightly basis.
.
As the Big Daddy clan was wandering through Macy’s, on the way to the elevator, Griffin blurted out, for all (potential voters) to hear,
.
“Last night the Future President slept in my bed with me.”
.
I hope this doesn’t become a huge issue next November.

I guess it’s better that we find out now, rather than after we elect that b@st@rd.

This is awesome on sooooo many levels!
Out of curiosity, what is Future President’s plan for the economic recovery?

I have often compared the Gov. of Tx to a stump of wood. A cat as POTUS might be an improvement.

Every single thing about that story is funny. You sure have a quotable kid.

You can safely scratch off “campaign manager” from Griffin’s list of possible career choices.

You might be able to scratch off “campaign manager,” but I think “tabloid interviewee” is still in the cards.

Based on past presidential behavior I’m not sure I see a problem with his statement.
Lil Sis friend.

A promiscuous cat is still better than most of the potential candidates.

Look, he could have named the cat after Wilford Brimley.
