A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is
Politics?'

Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President.

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call
her the Government.

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you
the People.

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad
has 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 parent's room and finds
his mother 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.'
