explaining the presidential elections to ada
Daddy: So you know how some countries have Kings and Queens?
Ada: Instead of Presidents, you mean?
Daddy: Well... yes, yes. In countries that have presidents, every few years everyone gets to decide who will be president next. You write an x on a piece of paper next to the name of the person you want, and put it in a box. And then they count the "x"s and whoever gets the most, gets to be president.
Ada: What do they do?
Daddy: Presidents? Well, that's a good question. You see...
Ada: I bet they have to sing and dance lots, so that people will choose them!
[Does Presidential Dance]
Daddy: Well, kind of. Mostly it's talking.
Ada: And the best talker wins?
Daddy: And the best talker wins.
