Presidents for Christmas?

Jacob: Mommy, will we get any presidents for Christmas?
Mommy: No, but you will get a present or two.
Jacob: So, we'll get presidents?
Mommy: No, but you'll get presents.
Jacob (getting distressed): Why won't we get any presidents for Christmas? We won't get any toys?
Mommy: Jacob, do you know who George W. Bush is?
Jacob: The president.
Mommy: Right. George Bush is the president. You'll get a gift or two for Christmas.
Jacob: What's a gift?
Mommy: A present.
Jacob: So George W. Bush is going to bring me a president for Christmas?
Mommy (sighing): No, I think he's busy. But you will get a president or two for Christmas.
Jacob (with a big smile): Okay, good.

Yep I agree with grandma b....I'd put a puzzle or book about Presidents under the tree for sure, lol. Of course, 2 months from now he'll have figured out the correct word and it will all be lost on him,....but you have your blog to keep record!
