Jacob's Dream

My eldest son shared with me a dream he had about a month ago, in the midst of all of the ridiculous debt ceiling nonsense. He told me that in his dream, he and his friends managed to earn all of the money needed to pay off the national debt. They took the money to Washington and gave it to the government. But, instead of paying off the debt, Congress decided to spend that money on a monument to themselves.

I laughed like crazy and then died a little inside because that is probably what the government would have done in real life.

The End.

Catching up on blogs... had to comment how smart Jacob is! And was laughing so hard. Most kids dream about Mario Brothers... He is such a grown up in a little body.
