Speaker of the House

True Story

I came home from high school one day very enthusiastic after taking my first civics class. At the dinner table I proceeded to announce that I had decided what I wanted to be.

“Oh,” said my dad. “And what might that be?”

To which I replied with a confident grin, “Speaker of the House.”

Dad simply said, “I thought you already were.”
