This reminds me of a story. When Elliot was 6, we had an attempted coup d’etat in Mauritania. For two days our walls shook as there was fighting and tank fire and planes with tracer bullets going after them in the night sky. (We were in no danger, not really) At the end, the president was successful in maintaining power.
Elliot was very happy to hear it. “I’d like to buy the president a chicken sandwich,” he told me.
Heidi—we definitely exchanged amused looks because it was such a random thing to say. When I later asked why George W. Bush (I think the “W” was one of the things that cracked me up more than anything, because we don’t call President Bush that) like Mexican Enchiladas, he said it was because his Weekly Reader once said George W. Bush’s favorite food is Mexican.
Still, I don’t know why he was thinking of George W. Bush to begin with.
What did you serve Wednesday?

I bet he’s right. Pres. Bush is from Texas, after all.
What the…? TOO FUNNY!

Kelly—on Wednesday night, I made Crockpot Pizza Soup, which is a favorite of everyone, including many world leaders. I’m sure.
Did you ask him what he meant, or just exchange smirks with your husband? I’m always interested to know how the childish mind works.
