\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429375961464925698\"<\/a>Not sure if you remember when my oldest had the Living Wax Museum<\/a> project at the end of 3rd grade…he was Ronald Reagan? Well, now it’s that time again and take a wild guess who my middle son wants to be? <\/p>\n

Yes, George W. Bush. Actually his first choice was Harry Houdini, but someone else picked him. Last night he said he wanted to be Dubya and I discouraged him. Which sucks that I had to do. I asked him why he wanted to be him and he informed me that they have a lot in common…it seems they are “both Republicans, both love baseball and both list tacos as their favorite food.” I told him teachers might treat him different if he chooses Bush. He doesn’t know this and I would never get into it with him…but I’m 99.9% sure his teacher this year is a big Ellen fan…if you know what I mean…<\/p>\n

It sucks I have to burden a 9 year old with this crap. He should just be able to be the person he wants…but the possible backlash\/smirks\/sneers is reality, right? Am I over-reacting? I’d bet my life there will be multiple Michelle and Barack Obamas -possibly a Hillary or two and those parents won;t struggle over the decision. He asked me if teachers could give him bad grades because he liked Bush. Then we discussed ‘should’ and ‘could…’ <\/p>\n

Any other suggestions? Stormin’ Norman? Ollie North? Chesty Puller? Winston Churchill? It’s supposed to be someone that changed history…<\/p>\n
