conversations with a 4 year old

here is my conversation with my 4 year old on our way to school today:
as we passed a borack obama campaign sign

Zack: mom, we don't like barack obama do we?
Me: it's not that we dont like him, we just don't like what he thinks (trying to keep it simple)
Zack: we have to kill him don't we
Me: NO, we don't want kill anybody!!
Zack: If he becomes president I will die...(at this point I see the wheels turning)
Me: really?!
Zack: We can't shoot him?
Me: We don't shoot people, we shoot deer.
Zack: how about the arm?
Me: lol No we don't shoot people.
Zack: then we have to put him in a big (he holds his hands out) container and like hide him.
Me: ummm, no let's just not vote for him.

It went on like this til we saw a big dump truck and I was able to change the subject. It is so funny what kids pick up when you don't think they are even listening.

Classic. That's really funny. He's got a point, though.
