Election Day, according to Liam

So tomorrow I go to vote for the Boss of Our World. That is Liam's term for the President of the United States. He has a hard time remembering that stuffy title, so he just refers to him as the Boss of Our World. (OK, maybe he'd LIKE to be over the whole world...but we know that only inlcudes the US...and Puerto Rico...right???).
NOT to be confused with the other very important title, Boss of Our Neighborhood. Our Home Owner's Association president is the father of Liam's good friend, Christopher. Somehow his perky little ears must have heard us talking about the HOA "president" in idle conversation, and now he is convinced that Christopher's father has some great power over us all as Boss of Our Neighborhood (sometimes also called Boss of Where We Live).
Who even uses the term Boss anymore??
I think Liam has an interest in all these political issues...he also told me the other day that his Kindergarten teacher "would like to be a principal." Not sure if she told him this (maybe during an exercise in goal setting?), or he deduced this on his own. Perhaps someday Liam will be Boss of Our World (actually, Natalie may already hold this title, and it may be more of a dictatorship) - he certainly has some diplomatic skills. He will always tell you what you want to hear. If asked if X or Y is his "favorite" he will always say Both. And if caught doing something sneaky he can definitely charm his way out of it. Yep, he's ready.
