Absolutely the cutest thing I’ve read all day: Literacy clinic, 826 Valencia shares some of its students’ letters and advice to Barack Obama. I particularly liked this one, whose author either has issues with the Bush administration, or OCD.
Dear President Obama,
Here is a list of the first 10 things you should do as president:
1. Fly to the White House in a helicopter.
2. Walk in.
3. Wipe feet.
4. Walk to the Oval Office.
5. Sit down in a chair.
6. Put hand-sanitizer on hands.
7. Enjoy moment.
8. Get up.
9. Get in car.
10. Go to the dog pound.
