Call the Government

Last night my four year-old son, Will, was supposed to be cleaning up the play room. As I passed by I saw him sitting on his bean bag chair, wearing a toy hard hat and holding a toy phone. I asked him, "Aren't you supposed to be cleaning up, not playing? " He turned, looked at me and said, totally serious, "Hold on daddy. I need to call the government."

I had a good chuckle. I don't even know where he got the idea of calling the government, or if he even knows what the "government" is. Just like the title of the TV show, kids say the darndest things.
