Politics, Through the Eyes of a Child

CNN or some similar channel was on the TV this morning, as background while we were all getting ready. I overheard the following conversation, which cracked me up!
Son (to Older Daughter): "Is he the President of the United States?" (not sure who he was referring to; someone on the TV)
Older Daughter, very factually: "No, the other man with the big ears is the President right now. The brown man and the elderly man are fighting about who gets to be the next President."

I've never heard her use the word "elderly" before.....
