The kids and I discuss the election:
JULIA: Ugh, why oh why you did Donald Trump get elected?
ME: Well, hopefully if he does a really bad job, he won't be re-elected in four years.
MADELEINE: (with mild alarm) Wait. Did he already sign up to try out for President again next time??
ME: Oh, well, no, not yet. Who knows what will happen in four years.
MADELEINE: Mommy? If you're the President, are you ALLOWED to decide, like, you don't LIKE it and you don't wanna do it anymore?
JULIA: Yeah, can the President quit? Or can he only be impeached?
ME: Well, a president can resign, which means deciding to leave office.
MADELEINE: Oh, good. Then I hope that's what Donald Trump decided to do.
Me too, kids. Me too.
