Kid Asked Dad: "what Is Politics?"

How would you answer your child when he asked you "What is politics?"

Here is one answer given by a dad.

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the

breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom,

she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the

Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you

the People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your

baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see

if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to

check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy

goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not

wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.

Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father

in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I

Understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think

politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working

Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored

and the Future is in deep shit."
