Aspirations

Reagan:  "Mom, when I grow up I want my own state."
Mom: "Your own state?  What do you mean?"
Reagan: "My own state.  Like Michigan."
Mom: "Uhhhhhh, I don't know about that."
Reagan: "I want to be President!"
Mom: "OH, that's what you're trying to say.  I get it."

 That's a new one.  Normally she says she wants to grow up to be an architect or an artist.
Mom:   "Well, if you study and work hard, maybe you can grow up to be President...."
Reagan (interrupting me): "of CHINA!"

Oh.  Well.  Maybe not.  Never mind.
