I want to meet the president...

Big A:  oooh look it's president Obama

Little A:  I thought we were watching gymnastics. 

Big A:  it's the Olympics. The gymnastics is later. I want to meet president Obama. 

Little A: You have to bow to him. 

Me:  No you don't have to bow to the president. You just have to be polite. 

Little A:  Soooo we can't be mean to him? Or hit him right? That would be bad. Big A, when you meet president Bama don't be rude k?
