An Obamanation

Jakeb got in trouble tonight. He has been switching the thermostat to emergency heat which is not a cool thing to do. It causes the heater to work in over time costing us a lot more money. At first we didn't know who was doing it. We assumed maybe Kaleb was doing, but then we realized that he wasn't even tall enough to reach it. Blake and Luke both said they didn't do it. So that left poor Jakeb. He kept saying that he "probably didn't do it." And well, "probably" wasn't good enough for us.

After finally fessing up to doing it, this following conversation took place:

Dad: "Who made you lie, Jakeb?"

Jakeb: "Obama made me lie!"

Dad: "Did Obama call us?"

Jakeb: "No."

Dad: "Then how did he make you lie?"

Jakeb: "Because he made our state blue."

How the man kept from laughing, I'll never know.
