Last night, Charlotte was moping in her room because her bike wasn't working properly. In an effort to cheer her up, I invited her to come on a walk with me. While we were walking, she was going on and on about how much she hates school because it is so boring. She told me that she just wants to be home schooled because it will be so much better. She wouldn't stop asking me why she had to go to school, so I finally told her it is against the law for her not to go to school.
Me: Why do you hate school so much?
Char: Because school is all this is this and that is that. I hate school. When I'm president, I'm going to break the law and not go to school.
Me: Well, to be the president you need to understand the laws and stuff that you learn in school.
Char: So, if I'm president, I can just break the law?
Me: Well, just because you are president doesn't mean you can break the law, but you could try to amend the law.
Char: Amend? What does that mean?
Me: Well, that's why you need to go to school, so you can learn what words like amend mean.
Char (Exasperated!): OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH! C'MON!
Me: Amend means to make some changes.
Char: Well, when I'm president, I'm making some changes to the law, so you don't have to go to school if you don't want to.
